Title: Demolition at the Reading biscuit factory, probably 1930s [Go to resource]
Description: This photograph was probably taken during the redevelopment scheme in the late 1930s to rebuild the South Factory and the office building. The new South Factory replaced a haphazard group of Victorian buildings that had developed over 80 years. The new building was equipped with the latest machinery including two auto-plants that continuously rolled and cut the dough and 204ft travelling ovens.
