Here's a nice article regarding the celebrations to mark two hundred years of biscuit making in Reading. The world renown Huntley and Palmer biscuit factory was something of a local landmark back in the day. Following acquisition, the company moved from the area and eventually the brand all but disappeared. It has been sporadically reintroduced by the clever girls and boys in biscuit marketing but H&P are now sadly just a footnote in the list of great British companies.
