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?

What a small world, my mum worked in Billy Bowdens for years and our Tea was what ever was left over as the waitresses got to take it home, my favorite was loose potatoe pie.
