Trebour Factory

I to can remember the Trebor Sweet Factory Friday afternoons in the playground of shaftesbury School during the period 1946-49 when the factory workers would throw sweets into the playground. Scramble, first come first served. Can also remember the long ice slides we used to make during the winter in the playground

I used to live above the sweetshop owned by Mr Frederick Sugg which was just over the road from Trebor’s factory, and I went to Shaftesbury school which also had a sweetshop opposite, so I was surrounded by sweets. This was the 1950s. I was amazed to see on Google Earth that the name F Sugg is still on the place I lived, 323 Katherine Road I think.

Must have been the lucky boys’ side of Shaftesbury school! The sweets didn’t reach the girls’ side. I remember the boys filing through the girls’ playground to get to the dinner hall, though. 1950s.

We must have been at Shaftesbury school at the same time as I was there in the 1950s. I used to visit the sweet shop opposite the school. I lived in Green street than we moved to Park road. I remember there was older boys in the other end of the school. Do you remember a Teacher called miss Macintosh very tall dark hair.
