Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
A History of Barratts Sweet Factory in Wood Green
I just came across this delightful series of videos. It's published by the Chocolate Factory and tells the story a renowned British sweet maker Barratts who located in Wood Green not long after they were established in the nineteenth Century.
If you enjoyed this first video there are a series of three further videos on the Chocolate Factory's You Tube Channel.

I recently bought David Tec Evans DVD and just watched it in full - amazing. As someone who has lived all her life (61 years so far) in Hornsey i well remember the sickly sweet smell of the liquorice and Caxton's chocolate all mixed together in the summer when the breeze came from the east to the Campsbourne estate . Didn't stop me eating the sweets though. I went on to work in Granta House (the old Social Security office, now the Jobcentreplus) next door to the MHT/Barratts building and overlooking the old Barratts factory. I wonder why they never advertised - were the family Quakers? Great memories thanks to Tec Evans research.
