GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P.
can any remember the name of the pie shop in Park Road opposite Ansells lovely hot pies on a par with Averill's in Newtown Row
 
I remember it as a chippie, can see it now but cant for the life of me remember the name
 
Pie Shop Park Road

I think the name was Hollins, my wifes sister worked there for a number of years from about 1947. I will be seeing her next weekend (family Gathering) I will check then.
You keep mentioning Averils shop. I know Brian Averil quite well,he lived for a while in Walton upon Trent. He moved some years ago,to I believe the Newborough Area.
When I worked in the cooked meat manufacturing industry I sold products to Averils which were delivered to their Park Road Factory.

Pie Shop Park Road

Hi John
Yes the shop did belong to Mrs Hollins. She sold the shop and took a small hotel on the coast.
