This is the clarks pie shop. Yes, i know i must have looked like a right fatty taking a picture of a pie shop, but it had to be done. Ask anyone over the age of about 35 in south west Britain where clarks pies come from and they will know. I can always remember after my dad had been to watch a Cardiff City match he would come home with a clarks pie and chips, so whenever i now see things related to clarks pies i think of Cardiff. This shop is on Cowbridge road east, in Canton, and was opened in the 1930's. The original shop is in Grangetown and was opened in the 1920's. It is definately a historical monument for Cardiff, and the words "clarks pie" sparks memories for many people, including me. I can't actually remember the age i was when i was introduced to the good 'ol clarks pie, but i can't remember a time before them!
