catfan 14,795 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Many will remember them, reading the Pork Pie Breakfast thread Basfordred commented that his dad sold them in his chip shop. Sandersons went years ago, now most chippy's sell a far superior pie, "Pukka Pie". I noticed Tesco now sell the very same Pukka Pie & was on offer last week at a £1 a time, bargain ! Usually £1.50 at Tesco, expect to pay a lot more at some chippy's. Here is the old Sanderson factory in Greasley St Bulwell. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.999814,-1.202629,3a,75y,191.9h,88.77t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s0uW8wrPnSlagO2XQbCz54w!2e0?hl=en 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,795 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Their pies were very err plain. I went in that chip shop the other week & remember there was a bus stop right outside the door. The times I sat there waiting cos it was a timing point. Looking at that part of the town center you would not imagine buses ran along there in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,547 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Is this the same person? A tripe shop on Arkwright Street. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
... 1,411 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Arkwright shop faggots in gravy served in a pyrex dish with clean t towel cover,mum waiting with potatoes and veg superb. Scruffy and tatty but that sandersons shop front looks beuatiful to me in a strange way,it represents a bustling community that has sadly died along with alot of the staff and customers,god bless em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 The company that produced the pies was L.A.Sanderson Ltd. I don't know if there was a connection to Tom Sanderson, who sold principally tripe and cowheels, as can be seen on the window signage. I can remember the large tripes hanging in that window as a kid. Ugh, horrible. I seem to remember there was also a Tom Sanderson on Hockley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma. 1,533 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 54 Main Street , Bulwell 2014 - Sandersons Fish and Chip Shop ( Sando's ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I can remember the Sanderson pies but to me the Pukka pies seem much more familiar. Weren't they very common by the seventies? Many chippies had the Pukka Pie Chip Shop sign outside, as they do today. I was never a pie-man though. Fish, chips and mushy peas, always! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
