Title: Mrs Peek's Christmas Puddings, 1970-1980s [Go to resource]
Description: Peek Frean was established in 1857 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. An image of the company's Drummond Road factory appears on the back cover of this catalogue. 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.
