Granny's Mints
A Memory of Normacot.
Back in the 1950s-1960s my father, Jack Garbett and my uncle Bill Garbett manufactured sweets in Normacot. They were particularly famous for their Granny's Mints. The factory was founded by my uncle, Tom Garbett. My father joined the Firm when he left the army after the Second World War. He was also a semi-professional musician who played the saxaphone and clarinet. His family were Catholics and helped to run the dances at St Augustine's Church, Meir. When I was young. this church was housed in a type of hut which, as far as I can remember, had a corrugated roof.
The sweet factory was demolished many years ago.
