Pilkingtons? Their premiss were down Vine Street I think — somewhere about the present gym.
Hi Margaret, I am very distantly related to Pikingtons of Spalding. I had a Uncle related to them, Bill Hames who worked at the butchers. Did you know him?
I think you are right but i will confirm it. Geoff Dood started annotating a 1903 map with some of the business in the town in 1930’s but we never finished it. However he indicated that Scuphams had a pie factory in Double St. Does that ring any bells?
Pilkingtons used to frequent markets to sell their produce . As I recall in my youth the stall at Corby market on a Saturday would provide a vast range of products including pork pies , fruit pies and meat products such as faggots , haslett etc . Always top notch , I recall our last visit to the stall possibly late 70”s or early 80’s when the stall holder announced his retirement and that as there was no longer a family member available to run the business it was possibly the end of Pilkingtons ?
My great grandfather started the business in 1909 where he live above the shop and origanally everything was produced in the cellar, later they had premises down double street.
Hi, I believe my grandfathers sister married your great grandfather. Her maiden name was Hames… I believe they lived at 18 Stonegate previously known as Gainsley Lodge

They had the back part of Robert Godards
Is it possible to meet I would like to write a story about the Scupham family business. Also interested in the cellar.

I think the owners of the pork pie shop were called Scupham?
