EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the Liquorice Room at Clarke, Nickolls and Coombs, a historic sweet factory located in Hackney Wick, London, circa 1902. This evocative photograph captures the daily work life of a group of dedicated women, each dressed in pristine white aprons, as they meticulously cut and shape liquorice sweets using wooden molds. The room is filled with the enticing aroma of freshly produced sweets, and the soft clatter of trays being passed from one worker to another creates a symphony of industry. The Clarke, Nickolls and Coombs factory was renowned for its high-quality confectionery, including the popular Clarincos chocolates. This Edwardian-era image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the intricate and labor-intensive process behind the creation of these beloved treats. The women in the photograph appear focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the pride and dedication they brought to their work. The Liquorice Room, with its wooden tables and traditional manufacturing equipment, stands as a testament to the rich history of the confectionery industry during this era. The room's worn, timeworn appearance adds to its allure, transporting us back to a bygone era when the art of sweet making was a cherished and integral part of daily life.
