Pollen Bakery Manchester, a photographic case study for commercial landlord Network Rail

Case study photography for Network Rail at Pollen Bakery, Manchester.

Pollen Bakery, based in Manchester used to be a tenant of Network Rail until they moved, a couple of years ago to their new location at Cotton Field Wharf. They formerly rented one of the arches underneath Manchester Piccadilly Train Station. Working for Network Rail I was asked to spend an inspirational hour at this wonderful artisan bakery this morning gathering images for the company.

Pollen Bakery is a Sourdough & Viennoiserie bakery run by Hannah Calvert & Chris Kelly. Pollen was born from a love of great food. Chris and Kelly started baking sourdough in their home kitchen in 2011 and the rest is history. 5 years later, after much practice, reading and experience they decided to leave their banking jobs and embark on bringing great bread to central Manchester.

Manchester Pollen Bakery is a unique bakery that uses locally sourced, organic ingredients to create delicious and nutritious baked goods. The bakery specializes in sourdough bread, which is made using natural fermentation methods and traditional baking techniques.

One of the key features of Manchester Pollen Bakery is its commitment to sustainability. The bakery uses only high-quality, organic ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. This not only supports local farmers and producers, but also helps to reduce the bakery's carbon footprint.

In addition to its sourdough bread, Manchester Pollen Bakery also offers a range of other baked goods, including pastries, cakes, and cookies. All of these items are made using the same high-quality, organic ingredients and traditional baking methods.
