Oh my..you never had a hyde's meat pie!! Yes, you missed out, think it was a Hot water crust pastry wth a delicious minced beef and gravy filling. Used to get some on the way to my nans every week without fail. I know time passes and I was a kid but craving for one of those pies nicely warmed (or even cold with brown sauce) was just an abiding memory. I'd take one with me to the Boulevard and get my auntie to warm it up before she'd get me in for nowt (she was a barperson in the club & my uncle a groundsman)..Happy happy days

To go forward or back?

Well, after building the Boulevard, I might be tempted to go back in time and bring back 17 or so players.

A good bite at the corner and then drink the contents, probably the best meat pies ever made. When I was an apprentice I was sent there every Friday lunchtime on my bike to get everyone a pie for lunch....brilliant! They moved from being near Welstead street further down Hessle Road to near West Dock Avenue but the pies never tasted the same. Top Memory KBII!!
