Title: Packing biscuits, 1963-1965 [Go to resource]
Description: Chocolate biscuits were first produced in the factory in 1910 in the building by the North Gate. In those days chocolate was manufactured from the bean to the finished product but, owing to insufficient room, Huntley & Palmers later contracted out some of this work. In 1960 the chocolate department was moved to 'H' factory as part of the reorganisation to improve efficiency. By the 1960s the biscuits were foil wrapped by machine at a rate of 100 per minute.
