This is a shot taken in the winter of 1969 from our shop. We had a board outside advertising hot pies, which we got from Sellars. I just caught the top of the board with the pic. I thought it was quite in keeping with the conditions!

Brought back great memories of those advertising boards Fred, we as kids would look out for the ones outside bakeries that had been done in chalk, when we found one we would rub out the 'e' in pies, a good laugh at the time - kids eh.
