When I was a child in the late 60's, on shopping trips to the bright lights of Accrington, there were two choices we were given where we could eat.

We could go to the chip shop on Church Street, or Billy Boden's in Warner Street.

Billy Boden's was a place that just served delicous loose potato pie, with a square piece of crust. You sat in the kitchen where they did the cooking on a big black leaded range. There was nothing else on the menu besides loose potato pie, although they did do jam rolly polly for pudding.

We had one of these pies shops in Oswaldtwistle, on Union Road at the corner of Cross Street, opposite the Golden Cross.

Where there anymore pie shops besides the one I remember in Warner Street?
