Title: Huntley & Palmers Biscuits, 1989 [Go to resource]
Description: One of a series of tins produced in the late 1980s which used images culled from nineteenth and early-twentieth century Huntley & Palmers trade-cards, calendars and posters. For other examples see the 'Reading Tin' and the 'Rocket' tin, both from around 1989. It is ironic that this nostalgia for images derived from the heyday of the company should occur at the point at which Huntley & Palmers was about to disappear as the name of an active business. Some have suggested that this tin shows a Reading scene, but as there is no 'High Street' in Reading this is not possible.
