The way the cookie crumbles

A Visit to Peek Frean and Co.'s Biscuit Works (1906)

Made by the Cricks & Martin Films studio this is a short documentary. We explore a biscuit factory and the process of production used there.

Not particularly dramatic this is still an interesting watch and no doubt an excellent historical record. We are taken laboriously through the biscuit making process with every step, right up to the workers leaving the factory, shown. The image quality is surprisingly good for such an early film and this is well worth a watch, not just for historians.
