Cousins Cake Shop

[Lan02]

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.

Used to be known as 'Cousins Corner' a favourite meeting place, similiar to meeting under the clock at Lime Street Station or under Lewis's statue. I always thought they should have kept that sign.........however thats progress.

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 agree , Sayers should be outlawed . I remember Mitchells , they made gravy pies , it was in Anfield and the ques would be around the corner .

Yes, Mitchells was well known in the area and very popular. It's still there I think. Must look next time I pass.

I thought the 'C' stood for Costigans , the C was normally tiled into the entrance of there shops.

Cousins were famous for their Strawberry Tarts, not like the processed crap from Greggs and Sayers.

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 ?
