Robert Kirkland

Robert Kirkland, born at Airdrie in 1853, gave up banking to join his brother in this baking and catering business. He was chairman of that business, and chairman of Fletcher's Limited in Birmingham. He was given a royal warrant of appointment as baker to Queen Victoria, with authority to use the Royal Arms, and he was also baker to the Emperor of Austria and the King of Spain. He was President of the National Association of Master Bakers in 1890–91.[1]

The bakery continued to exist until the 1970s and was turned into a pub called Fly in the Loaf in the late 1990s.[2]

The exterior of the former bakery featured in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episode "Love's Sweet Song".[3]
