Horse and cart deliveries disappeared long before 1950, AFAIK, except
possibly in some deep country areas. I was born in 1953, and my
childhood bread came from the village store or from the bread van which
was definitely motorised because I used to imitate the noise for my
parents' amusement.

The bread itself was probably much the same as home-made bread now,
though. My mother regarded sliced white pan wrapped in cellophane as an
American mistake :-)

The bread was made commercial bakeries that exist now but was different
in texture ( I used to walk miles to the bakery and ride back home in
the cart with the deliverer
