Pie-making in Haslingden

Meaning Valley of the Hazels, Haslingden sits in one of the most beautiful natural vales in the country. It's close to Burnley and Blackburn, and less than 20 miles north of Manchester. The town played a prominent role in the wool and cotton industries of the 18th and 19th centuries, but it's now probably best known for its pie-making. People come from far and wide to sample the handmade pies and flans from Cissy Greens Bakery, which still uses an original 1920s recipe in its produce. And to the north of the town is the Holland's Pies factory.
