Huntley And Palmers Factory c1900
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This picture shows the factory of Huntley & Palmers - the biscuit makers who were one of the largest employers in Reading in the 20th Centrury. Presumably the photo was taken at the end of a working day with the workers streaming out of the factory? Palmer Park was named after one of the founders of this firm.

RE: RE: Huntley & Palmers

I used to go to a dance school (Old Time Ballroom) run by a Mr Haslam in the small building outside H&P, I think it might have been a H&P social club? Later they built a new social club which was nice. 1951-58?. My parents May & Frank Bentley really enjoyed dancing, at least 1-2 times per week ,and so did I, but I enjoyed the girls more, I think.
