Would you remember that?
As I understand it they relocated to Charter Avenue, a few years later, by which time I had left to join the Royal Navy.
I also understand that the area was required for the Ring Road. |

The bags had the three spires logo on and the proprietor and his wife used to come into the Gas Club for a drink.

Wholesale they were supplied in tins (I assume of 48 packets) rather than boxes. If you type "Robinsons" in the search box you will find a few references to them.

Yes I remember the factory, we used to go there from St Osburg's School at dinner time and ask if they had any left over.Cov |
