Anybody remember the chain of Cousins cake shops, in particular the one on Church Street / North John St?
I think it closed in the early 80's but the sign was still around until the development of Liverpool One. Is now Costa Coffee.
Cheers.

I remember their Custard slices , it was better than Sayers .
Anywhere's better than Sayers.
I don't know why they've outlasted the others.
There are still a few shop doorways with a "C" in them.
Who remembers Wallers?
I posted a photo of the doorway of one that is now a sayers in Hunts Cross. Didn't know what it was, so asked here. Couldn't tell u where that thread is now though
There was a Cousins in Dale street by State House and also under the four squares tenements on Soho Street.
I thought it was Costigans too.
Liverpool had a few chains of cake shops over the years, Kirkland and Jennings(Fly in the Loaf pub is one of their old shops),Frances Mckays,Shaws,Sykes,Scotts.Lunts, All went to the wall.
Yet we have outside firms with branches in Liverpool now such as Gregs,Greenhaughs,
Speaking of smaller cake shops, a Satterwaites has opened in the Strand. My mum always used to love the pork pies from there and I always used to get the marzipan creatures they sold oh and rum truffles
Used to be a Satterwaites and a Cousins in Crosby I think.
Some of them like the Cousins in Church Street had cafe's at the rear.
Remember Sayer on Walton Vale used to have a cafe at the back. The Sayers on Tithebarn Street still has a cafe and it is like going back in time to the 70's.
Aren't Satterwaites still in crosby ?
I know there's was at least one in Waterloo but I've not been down Crosby way for a few months coz there was one on Moor Lane
Satterthwaites of Crosby, top of there game and cant be beaten, your right Debs, there birthday cakes and range of other cakes and bread are tasty.
The other famous cake shop chain was in St Helens, 'Pimbletts', which went to the wall about 18 months ago, they became famous for custard slices. I recently heard that two of the old bakers have bought a couple of the old shop and are calling it 'Pimmies' known to everyone from St Helens as 'Pimbletts''
Was 'Reeces' a cake and bread shop ?
:ninja:
Some people just have no shame in giving their age away.
I love Sayers by the way and being a mere youngster - I know no better ;)
