Title: Reading Shortbread, 1925-1934 [Go to resource]
Description: Shortbread was often packaged with prominent reference to the fact that it is a Scottish delicacy. Indeed, tins intended for sale in Scotland often minimise, or even fail to mention, that Huntley & Palmers were based in the south of England. This tin breaks all these rules by highlighting the fact that this shortbread is from Reading! Reading Shortbread, in fact, continued in production until at least the 1950s - it was one of the varieties trialled at the new Huyton factory in April 1955, before the new plant was officially opened.
