A lost Liverpool bakery that employed generations in the city for over 70 years made treats that were "a staple of our childhood."
The Liverpool ECHO recently took a look back at the Sayers brand on Merseyside, more specifically its purpose-built bakery in Norris Green. Back in 1912, Fred and Lylian Sayer started selling baked products from a basement kitchen on Prescot Road, Old Swan, before production moved to County Road, Walton in 1922 and then a larger bakery in Aintree Road, Bootle in 1925.
By the early 1930s, another expansion saw Sayers moved to Lorenzo Drive, Norris Green. A key production facility, the site supplied shops throughout Merseyside and the North West and many will remember Devon cream sold that came in a tub, as well as the smell of the products wafting down the road.
