I'm sure the Beech Tree pinny shop was at the top end of little Blackburn Road.....next to(or near to) Smiths confectioners shop......they made the tastiest corned beef hash pasties you ever tasted.......and I liked their Russian cake too, but was told never to ask what was in it(it was off cuts from all the different kinds of sponge cake and it was 'glued' together with jam).
