Pie shop at 'heart of the community' set to close after 70 years

An "iconic" pie shop that has sat at the heart of a community for almost 70 years is set to close its doors.

E & C Greenall in St Helens has been a staple of local cuisine for 68 years, serving up pies and desserts to workers and families across the town. The Duke Street bakery was opened by Elizabeth Greenall in 1954.

Elizabeth's son Colin began began helping his mum and working at the store when he was just 10 years old and has looked after the shop ever since. He took over Greenall's in 1970 and spent years fighting off stiff competition to excel in the town.
