The Pie Man, Bath

The ‘Pie Man’ stood on the Boro’ Walls, between Cater’s and Ship and Teagles, close to the pavement by Cater’s.

He had a brightly polished case of stout tin standing on 4 legs and fitted with three drawers.

In one he kept meat pies, the other mince pies, the third had a small charcoal fire arrangement which kept the pies hot.

He announced his presence by fairly quietly repeating quickly, ‘All’ ot all’ ot all ’ot,’ about five times very rapidly. (Try it and you get the effect.)
