Nigel Dawson from Great Partners in History gave a talk which included 1930s food
30 October 2015
Our Residents were fascinated to hear about the old timers, like Pick and Mix Sweets, then more formally called
'Weigh-Out Sweets', were a special favourite at Woolworths in 1930s. Typically the company's large
scale allowed them to sell the candy much more cheaply than their rivals.
Brazil Nuts at fourpence (2p or about 5 cents at the time, about £1.80 today)
Were a special favourite and, according to many customers, the best value.
