It's Alphabet Friday once again and time for the second letter! "B" is for "Biscuit Factory" and Tudno Mill (or Ryecroft Mill no. 3) has for many years been the home of Hills Biscuits. The visitor approaching Ashton is often greeted by the mouth-watering smell of baking biscuits!

My mum worked there. We had loads of broken biscuits
ReplyDeleteThis photo has brought back memories!! I can almost smell that wonderful aroma of biscuits being baked!!!
ReplyDeleteI must have passed this mill hundreds of times and never knew that it was John Hill's Biscuit factory. The name is VERY familar though as we used to buy their biscuits from a stall inside the Market where the biscuits were displayed in glass topped square tins. Do you remember 'sports' biscuits and those tiny round things with icing on the top- can't remember their name!
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Iced Gems, Meg.

Iced Gems! Thanks Paul!
