Title: Peek Frean sample tin, 1950s [Go to resource]
Description: The factory shown on two sides of this tin is Peak Frean's Bermondsey factory, which looks sleek and modern. However, in 1966 Associated Biscuits decided to reorganise the Peek Frean site at Bermondsey, at a cost of three and a quarter million pounds. This multi-storey building was replaced by a factory on one floor, which came into operation in 1971. Peek Frean produced at least three versions of this sample tin, which makes repeated use of the phrase 'Makers of Famous Biscuits'. The others have beige and maroon sides or beige and green sides . This version is, however, something of a hybrid - a lid from a green-sided tin seems to have been attached to a red-sided body!
