Ha, failed join the dots on that one Idler. There was a sweet factory in Balby where humbugs and rock type stuff was rolled out. At the top of Sanford rd down behind some allotments.

Can people remember when kids sweets were cheap.  I remember as a primary school kid going to the Wooden Hut in Cantley after school.  Sports mixture 4 for 1/2 pence if I remember correctly.   Same with black jacks and fruit salads.  Penny toffee was a penny.

my old man used to call them spice

I always knew sweets as spice growing up on the Wakefield/Leeds border.

I once found a farthing and went to the shop. Could buy either a fruit salad or a Blackjack Circa 1966

Farthings ceased in 1960 Sproty

We sometimes bought sweets there walking back home from Oswin Ave.
My cousins in Hull always called sweets spice. We called them scoffs.

But ours, happily, is light years better than that awful muck produced by Hershey.

It’s disgusting, smells - and tastes - like puke.
