Is there such a thing as a decent pie shop in town, now. Nee Roker Pies, nee Maws Pies and long since gone, Cawthorns Pasties. All bring back very happy memories of my Childhood. What a bloody sad state society is in, when bloody McDonalds are deemed to be a more attractive Snack than a Pie, Proper Pastie or a one of Jack Piggs legendary savory dipsAnother institution gone,remember it being popular on match days ,sarnie Shop now

yes burdess was the name, they did all kinds of pie comestibles but my favourite was their version of a scots pie (mutton filling) we lived in baldwin street and I used to do the papers for the paper shop next door down early 1960sAny of the Easington lads recall a bakery down the bottom end of the street near to Moscardini's iirc ( maybe Burdess's? ). Used to think their pies were fkn awesome when I visited as a young 'un

Burdess's on Seaside Lane, George, la. My paternal grandparents lived "down South" in Beatty Street. Maternals were "up North" in Arthur Street. Two chip shops, quite close together, just before you got to the quarry (on the right hand side, heading North)? One was Fairs's & the other Longstaff's (I think, but please put me right). The former had a lovely woman (the daughter, who was my Mam's age, as I was just a little boy at the time) running it. She had a prosthetic arm. I think she'd lost it to polio. Distant memories, probably flawed. Hell on if I went to the wrang one. Granda always had a special order of "haddock on the bone". Neen of that filleted rubbish for him, ha, ha.yes burdess was the name, they did all kinds of pie comestibles but my favourite was their version of a scots pie (mutton filling) we lived in baldwin street and I used to do the papers for the paper shop next door down early 1960s
3.142tastic!Living in New Zealand now, I certainly miss savory or pork dips from back home. There are some half decent pies around though not quite the same.
Pie story.....
Recently I went to a 'farmers market' in Fielding (small village town, North Island of NZ) there was a stall selling pies (actually called Devine Pies) so naturally made straight for it, pies looked great, no doubt because soon as the lass opened her mouth I could tell she was from very close if not from Sunderland. "Where are you from" I asked (the normal answer is England) ..... "a nar that.... Hylton Castle by any chance" (very lucky guess) ..... after she picked herself up, she said "eeeeeee, how did ya nar that"
Tony was a canny tisch-tennis player, if I remember correctly.Gelders Pies?
