Marie Walsh has seen plenty in more than 60 years behind the counter at beloved Bolton bakery Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe.
She started serving customers at the Churchgate shop in the early 1960s, when it was one of many businesses in a thriving town centre.
Back then, Bolton's streets thronged with shoppers from across the North West, drawn to iconic stores such as Whitakers department store and Prestons of Bolton jewellers - known to many as the ‘Diamond Centre of the North'.
