There was nothing much in the shop except home made pies, bread and cakes. I used to love the meat pies. Were there ever such meat pies? Superb crust and such tasty liquid jelly when you bit into it, rolling juices down your chin, and the meat, oh, no nonsense wholesome tasty meat. Oh to have those days again!
There was one on the Corner of Manor Street where I used to get the sarnies from when I was a happyrentice with Townley's Joiners

When I was little we used to call that shop Trickets, later on it became known as Toffees.
