McKay's Bakery in Kempton was established in the 1850s and a century later, it had some rather unusual customers.
Perry's Circus was in town and its elephants were walked to a nearby creek each morning. On one particular day, the bakery's fully-laden bread cart was on the side of the road in Kempton waiting to be picked up for delivery. Catching the irresistible aroma of freshly made bread, the elephants charged the cart and devoured most of the loaves in sight. The baker probably learnt something new…elephants don't like wholemeal bread as it all remain untouched!
