Gosling’s Pie Shop

This was the shop on Smallbrook Street. #36 post in the link below shows one on Congreve Street.
It says on the wall: “No connection with any other establishment”, but that could mean any number of things. Perhaps the shop on Congreve Street was moved to Smallbrook Street ?

I think it was a pie shop selling Goslings Pies not a shop run by Mr Gosling.
John Bosley still listed in 1883 and 1890 directory. However, there is no pie shop at 71 Smallbrok Street.
 
That explains it, Janice. Primary business butchers, so not a pie shop as such, although they may have supplied pies to other businesses. Being a butcher's business, making pies and supplying them to other outlets may have proved a good trade at the time. Thanks.
