Here’s a photo which will bring back memories for many Looking Back readers showing one of East Lancashire’s most famous names.

We think the picture may be from the early 1960s and it shows Holland’s Pies factory at Baxenden complete with the large chimney emblazoned with the comp-any name.

The chimney was pulled down brick by brick in 1986 as the factory expanded. It’s also interesting to note the railway line passing by the factory.
