Title: Biscuit tasting demonstration, about 1954 [Go to resource]
Description: Peek Frean was established in 1857 and its first factory was in St Saviour's Dock, London. After a spectacular fire in 1872, which the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, came to see, a new factory was built in Bermondsey nearby. Peek Frean was famous for its 'Pearl' and 'Pat-A-Cake' biscuits. In 1921 Peek Frean and Huntley & Palmers formed Associated Biscuits Manufacturers Ltd. From that point on the two companies negotiated together on issues like retailers percentages and shared some financial information. They also had the occasional joint marketing campaign, such as this biscuit tasting.
