Dozens of businesses across Cumbria have been announcing that they are closing premises temporarily because of the pandemic, among them the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop, which says it is the first time such an event has happened in 166 years.
The shop in which the biscuit-like delicacy is baked, to a recipe developed by Sarah Nelson in 1854, is far too small inside to allow a 2m space between customers or staff.
