The owner of Pimblett's died and the son took over. He changed (modernised) everything to try and improve sales. Things weren't the same, so people stopped going. As you would?
So, the bakery closed down and shops were bought by Waterfields.

Apparently, the main bloke in charge of making t'pies knew the original recipes, so he started making them himself. The bakery grew and was sold to another person, who still makes them. Yes, they have to be called Pimmies, rather than Pimblett's. Copyrighs etc..

Personally, I haven't tried the new Pimmies pies or Cottom's Hot Pot.
