2021 March Talking Tees Valley Activity Pack – Easter
Talking Tees Valley Activity Pack Easter Talking Tees Valley Activity Pack Easter Welcome to another edition of the Talking Tees Valley Activity Pack. Each month we use objects from one of our museums in the Tees Valley to take a closer look at the lives and stories from people in our area. This month, with Easter just around the corner, we look at one of the most well-known names from Stockton High Street’s history and their sweet-making business – J.F. Smith and Co. 2 On Stockton’s High Street from the 1860s there were many shops which made their own sweets. One of these was J. F. Smith and Co. owned by James Fothergill Smith. It was both a sweet shop, and a factory which made its own sweets. Here is a display of sweets in the shop window. Can you imagine all the little faces that have been pressed up against that window hoping for a bag of those sweets? The shop had originally opened in Garbutt Street, however it was destroyed by a fire and in 1900 the brothers opened a new shop and factory at Green Dragon Yard in what was the Georgian Theatre Can you imagine the smell coming from that building? I wonder if they were allowed to eat any of the sweets! 3 The factory made many kinds of sweets in large quantities until it closed in 1972. Boiled herbal sweets, including Black Bullets and Voice Jubes, black liquorice cakes called Pontefract Cakes, and toffee and ice cream. And they were famous for creating Nebo Creams, a boiled sweet which was both creamy and sherberty. -

George Wheatley
www.HOUGHTONleSPRING.org.uk COPYRIGHT PAUL LANAGAN © 2012 UPDATED: 22/01/2012 THE SWEET SUCCESS OF A FAMILY MUCH OF THE RESEARCH for this article on the Wheatley family was done while consuming a bag of sweets and at the same time watching old black and white flicks. The sweets were of course black bullets and helped to invoke the history of the Wheatleys’ confectionery factories in Houghton-le-Spring; the movies were The Lady Vanishes (1938) and The Stars Look Down (1940), both starring Linden Travers, great-granddaughter of the confection founder, George Wheatley. A visit to Beamish Museum was also called for and afforded the opportunity of seeing the traditional method of making sweets and candy rock. I was disheartened, however, to see that the modern recreation involved the use of protective gloves, unlike in the days gone by (see photo page 7) where the factory workers’ fingerprints made the sweets truly unique! It is hard to study any area of Houghton’s history without it being punctuated by a Wheatley. They were a large family and it is not surprising that their history is as equally fascinating as the flavours of the sweets in their numerous shops. Linden Travers is often described by movie aficionados as being out of synch with the industry, that she was before her time and should have been a bigger star, but it is comforting to know that a light still shines on her name in Houghton-le- Spring for there are two large sumptuously framed photographs of Ms Travers in the new Wetherspoon’s Wild Boar public house.
