Stopped off at Ray's the other day as sometimes only a pie will do (must be a bloke thing). That started me thinking of bakers and confectioners in Prescot when I was growing up: Ray's - Peg-leg Williams- Clook's- Cubbons- Lyons - Cousin's- Fyldes and Berry. Whittle's also sold their own pork pies. Fylde's & Berry sold the tastiest Meat & Spud Pie. Peg-Leg Williams would sell his own gravy if you took your own jug. Anyone remember other bakers and what about Rainhill & Whiston??

I remember my Grand father telling me not to get pies from Peg leg Williams as he stirred everything with his wooden leg. (I believed him because what my grandad told me must have been true) He He... Not going to tell you what else he used to say, but behind his shop was where you used to take dogs to be put down...
