Description: | This late nineteenth century catalogue makes the usual references to Huntley & Palmers prizes from international exhibitions, especially the Paris Grand Prize of 1878, and the company's royal appointments. The perspective view of the factory looks west with the River Kennet in the centre. This is unusual as the company normally used a northwards view towards the Great Western Railway. This drawing shows how the factory grew from the original island site on the left, on to the north side of the River Kennet in the 1870s. The view is divided left to right by the factory tram and railway lines that linked the manufacturing departments with the GWR mainline. There are also barges on the river that connected with the Kennet and Avon Canal. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | environment social history trade advertising landscape industry biscuit | Temporal: | start=1880-01-01; end=1900-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
