Is pimmies still going? I thought it went bust. Their steak pies and meat n taters were glorious, shortly followed by a box of rennies. There should have been a pimmies pie stall in LP if it's still going.

"Pimmies" pies now are a hollow mockery of the glories of old. You're better off with Gregg's these days (assuming there is one in St. Helens - there's one everywhere else in the country after all). Avoid them at all costs as you'll only get upset at how awful they are. My steak and meat n' potato were always the highlight of my rare visits back to 'Telllins, but never again. Treasure the memories as that is all we have left now...

Please don't tell me Pimmies have gone. I'm only just coming to terms with the return of the Tories. If I have to deal with them without a pimmies steak pie on my occasional visits home, then life won't be worth living !

Alas, Pimmies went a few years back.

God, that's tragic. In 4th and 5th year, my school dinner money used to go on two steak and onion pies daily from the pimmies near the Four Acre estate. Just typing that I can almost taste them. What is the world coming to ?

Surely someone in the stadium could set up a retro Pimmies concession - they'd make a mint on match days !

Did they get taken over by Waterfields from Leigh ?

Waterfields took over their shop at Fingerpost but they didn't take the company over. The College Street outlet pictured above is actually now a bathroom place.

The Pimbletts in Rainford is now a Waterfields too.
