A Visit to Peek Frean and Co.'s Biscuit Works (1906) - extract
Summary
Without Peek Frean & Co. we would never have had the Garibaldi, the Bourbon or the Twiglet. The Clements Road factory gave Bermondsey the pet name 'Biscuit Town' until its closure in 1989. This extract is from a film by Cricks & Sharp, commissioned by the company to mark its 50th anniversary, and is now considered one of the earliest British documentaries.
