That’s exactly what we have got for you as we look back at memories of pie and pea suppers, a pie-making competition and even Valentine’s Day pies.

Why are we focusing on mouth-watering food? Because British Pie Week starts on Monday, March 1 and we want to get our teeth into some local memories.

So take a look at these scenes from across the borough, both sweet and savoury.
