Where about ?
There was Sayers, Cubbons and a couple of independant one's.
The last one I remember was on Prescot Road, opposite St Anne's School, but closed years ago,

hmtmaj.Sorry all I know is it was a cake shop in old swan indipendant.i'm not in liverpool so dont know how to find out.thanks.

Cubbons was on Broadgreen Rd, Sayers AND Reecses were on Prescot Rd, the other I speak of was Prescot Rd, opposite St Annes School, so maybe this is the one.
I only frequented it a few times if I was down that way, don't know the owners name etc, sorry, Mart

Atkinsons? has it always been named that?

The cake shop is still on Green Lane halfway up,dunno the name but its frontage is still as it was 40 years ago? its purple in colour.

This is Atkinsons on Green Lane, to the left side of the building, is the old Homestead Bakery sign

Spike.within the last 10 years or so.I dont live in the pool now so out of touch.he was a cook so his stuff would have been done on the premoses.Thanks

**Spike** · 02-01-2010

10 years. I've lived here longer than that? If Mart dont know it I dont know where it was sorry.

You sure it was Old Swan?

**JMLE** · 02-01-2010

I suspect it'll be Tom Williams that's on Broad Green Road opposite Craven's/Aldi as that's a cake shop, albeit a fancy one.

**Spike** · 02-01-2010

Could well be Mark.

There used to be a cake shop next to Woolies (Home and Bargain) in the Swan. It's a greengrocers now. This was in the 70s, when I was but a kid. It was quite old fashioned if my memory serves me right, i.e. not like Sayers! I'm sure Martin will remember this shop.
