Ban the heathen!

 

anyway......

 

In 1831 Edward Adcock began wholesaling his 'Melton Mowbray pork pie' in London. He made use of the daily Leeds to London stagecoach to convey his pies to the city centre. In 1840 Enoch Evans set up a rival business, and the fame of the pork pie began to spread. The opening of the Nottingham to Peterborough railway in 1847, and the building of Melton Mowbray station, further encouraged the pie's development. A number of specialist bakehouses were commissioned, and one of these specialists was John Dickinson. In the late 1840s Dickinson started making pies closes to the station in Melton Mowbray. In 1851 he leased a shop for the business on Nottingham Street - and the Melton Mowbray pork pie is still made there today.
