It's amazing what you chance across when you're waiting for all the recoverable files to copy from the disk whose S.M.A.R.T counters aren't looking so clever to another disk and then perform a full build from source... Ok, that was geek-speak for I'm bored witless and am surfing the web while I wait for my work computer to finish doing something.
That oatcake shop is actually in Miles Green*, on the corner of Heathcote Rd (named after local coalmine owner) and Station Rd (led to Halmerend station). It's my favourite, and fortunately nearest when up there to visit relatives. Mellor's is also good (and 1/4 mile from the in-laws). Agree that the supermarket oatcakes are not as fresh, and often not as good anyway. Hmm, now thinking of toasted cheese on oatcake followed by oatcakes with Golden Syrup...
I hope you returned via Alsager's Bank or Peggy's Bank and didn't choose a longer, flatter route like through Madeley.
*Miles Green is within Bignall End for the purpose of postal routing. However, be careful to distinguish between Audley, Bignall End, Halmerend, Miles Green, and Wood Lane when addressing born-and-bred locals, and never refer to the whole area as Audley unless you want some Deliverance-style trouble.
