Title: Modelling a costume made from a Peek Frean staff journal, 1920s [Go to resource]
Description: Peek Frean was established in 1857 in a factory 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 nearby in Bermondsey. 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. The girl's hat in this photograph is shaped like the clock tower that was a landmark of Peek Frean's Drummond Road factory in Bermondsey.
