Product Information

Since 1972 the Carr's biscuit factory has been part of United Biscuits, and the Carr's branded products are marketed in the US by Kellogg's. The factory today is known officially as McVitie's but still known locally as Carr's. Jonathan Carr protested against the Corn Laws, which placed steep tariffs on imported wheat to keep the price of British wheat artificially high. This meant bread was expensive even in times of famine. [4] Carr died in 1884, but by 1885, the company was making 128 varieties of biscuit and employing 1000 workers. [5] Carr's Flour Mills and the later established agricultural supplies and feeds businesses became Carr's Milling Industries plc, which is still based in Carlisle and now known as Carr's Group PLC. Its products have since the 1990s appeared in UK supermarkets through the Carr's Breadmaker flour range. Carr's Group also own companies involved in light engineering. [2] In 2016 Carr's Group sold the flour-milling division to Whitworths Holdings Ltd.

After closure of the works for a month to repair and clear flood damage, production and distribution gradually resumed in spring 2016. [12] See also [ edit ]EDIT 3: Shut up, America.

Great for both a post-dinner get-together and an afternoon treat. Picture a range of cheeses from a mature Cheddar to a Red Leicester to a nice soft Feta. Or perhaps even some stinky Stilton, a cheese that grabs you both by the tongue and the nose. Delicious.

Carr's business was both a mill and a bakery, an early example of vertical integration, and produced bread by night and biscuits by day. [3] The biscuits were loosely based on dry biscuits used on long voyages by sailors. [3] They could be kept crisp and fresh in tins, and despite their fragility could easily be transported to other parts of the country by canal and railway. [3]In 1831, Carr formed a small bakery and biscuit factory in the English city of Carlisle in Cumberland; he received a royal warrant in 1841. [1] Within 15 years of being founded, it had become Britain's largest baking business. [2] 1922 newspaper advertisement
