Lost Liverpool bakery where generations worked making 'cakes to die for'

A lost Liverpool bakery made 'cakes to die for' and employed generations in the city for over 70 years.

If you grew up in Merseyside, you've most likely been to a Sayers store and tried one of their cakes, sandwiches, soups or other bakery products. And although the brand has been well established across the North West for decades, its humble beginnings are rooted here in Liverpool.

Back in 1912, Fred and Lylian Sayer started selling baked products from  a basement kitchen on Prescot Road, Old Swan - and the rest is history. Production later moved to County Road, Walton in 1922 before increasing demand saw Sayers move to a larger bakery in Aintree Road, Bootle in 1925.
