History
food
This shop was at 87 Tower Bridge Road, Bermondsey.
Several of Michele's brothers followed his lead, and by 1930 there were a total of 14 pie,mash & eel shops in London bearing the Manze name.
Michele Manze died in 1932 and his son, Lionel, took over the running of the two surviving shops - Tower Bridge Road and Peckham High Street.
He died in 1988, whereupon his three sons, Graham, Geoff and Richard inherited not only Tower Bridge shop, but also the legal battle.
They survived on the business of Tower Bridge Road until they were able to re-build and re-open the Peckham shop in 1990,although the legal battle did not conclude until 1995.

I’m a fan of pie and mash it has to be said.
The all-girl brigade spend as much time smoking two doors down as they do serving pies.
My order, which never deviates, is a ‘double, single’ (£5.50), a plate of 1 portion of mash and two pies all drenched in liquor.
The mash is clumpy sure, but it’s certainly not lumpy which you find in other pie and mash shops.
The colour comes from parsley, the sauce apparently used to be made using the leftover eel cooking liquor, although that’s not the case anymore.
M. Manze Pie and Mash Shop in Islington Is Closing - Eater London
food location
M. Manze, the traditional Cockney pie and mash shop on Islington’s Chapel Market, will close by Christmas.
After 106 years of trading, Tim Nicholls, the owner, has told the Islington Gazette that “high business rates” and rent hikes in the area are forcing their closure.
Manze is among the oldest of London’s traditional pie and mash shops, having first opened in 1911.
The Chairman of the Chapel Market Traders Association (which represents the daily market), David Twydell, described Manze’s planned closure as a “nail in the coffin” of Angel Islington’s historic shopping street.
Twydell, who has run a fruit and veg stall on the market for 40 years is weary of the future of the area: “The rate hikes are hitting the small businesses while the big boys can survive...The worry is, it’ll become just another street of fast food joints and Costa coffee shops,” he said.
