History

Frederick Davis is listed as a baker at Meekatharra in 1905, but in 1908 W. J. Howard and C. O. Jackson had both established their bakeries and Davis was no longer to be found. Jackson's bakery was a stone building distinctive among the timber-framed iron clad structures that predominated in the town at that time. Jackson had left Meekatharra by 1915 and Howard by 1920. Another bakery business was the Pioneer Bakery, on the corner beside the Royal Mail Hotel. This business included Haymes dining rooms.
