Baker G A & Son

Description

G A Baker & Son

Based in the historic city of Gloucester, G A Baker & Son offers a wide range of new, pre-owned and antique jewellery. The Mann family has been retailing on the Cross in Gloucestershire since 1741. For over 250 years and 8 generations the family supplied jewellery and time pieces to the county and in 1901 became watchmakers to the Admiralty. In 1862, the then owner, William Mann was appointed Sheriff of the city of Gloucester and to this day the eldest son of each generation becomes a freeman of the city, when he reaches 21 years of age. The iconic G A Baker building in Southgate Street is from where Miles Mann now runs the company.
