Murray's established a bakers shop at 42 Market Street, New Mills in 1902. Next door at 40 Market Street, was Murray's Draper and Dressmaker. In 1905, a bakery and shop was opened at 52 Buxton Road, Newtown.
42 Market Street is now "Lee's Kitchen" a Chinese Takeaway and No 40 is Sham's Spices. The Newtown shop was at the corner of Redmoor Lane and is now a private house.
The horsedrawn baker's van was used to make local deliveries but we are unable to identify this location.
