Title: Huntley, Boorne & Stevens Centenary dinner menu, 1930 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers' biscuits travelled across the world in tins made by Huntley, Boorne & Stevens. Joseph Huntley opened an ironmongers shop opposite his brother's London Street bakery in 1832. This small shop grew into the tin box company Huntley, Boorne & Stevens. The management in 1930 appear to have been misinformed about the age of their company and celebrated the centenary two years early! The menu illustration shows how the company had gradually grown from a single shop into a large tinworks covering a large area between London Street, Crown Street and Southampton Street. The company moved from this site to Woodley between 1967 and 1969.
