Title: Cake factory, around 1920 [Go to resource]
Description: After the First World War the poor quality of butter and other fats for cakes meant that the Cake factory did not reopen until 1920. However tastes had changed during the war and many people found Huntley & Palmers cakes too dry and expensive. This was because they were still being baked in quite small numbers using obsolete hand ovens as shown in this photograph. This led to the launch of New Era slab cakes in 1931 and the reorganisation of the cake factory in 1936.
