[Margaret Pilkington]

Mrs Almonds Shop.......at the end of Marsden St.......diagonally opposite the Woodnook pub.
We used to go there late on a Saturday lunchtime and she would give us all the boiled spuds that were left, and we used to buy(at a knockdown price) any meat pies/steak puddings/potatoe pies.....and any squashed cakes she would give us to eat on the way home.......She knew that it was hard work feeding seven children, and that Ma had not much money......her gifts of food sometimes kept us going.
