Agent For Caley's Mineral Waters & Brewed Ginger Beer, Stalham High Street, Norfolk.

Caleys, the great Norwich confectioners, in fact began by making something entirely different. A. J. Caley came to Norwich in 1857 and established a chemist‘s business in London Street. In 1863, he started making mineral waters in a small cellar at the back of his shop. The business expanded rapidly, and a year later he moved to Bedford Street. Even then the larger premises were not sufficient for the ever increasing trade. His son, Edward J. Caley joined the business in 1878, and in 1880 they took over a building in Chapel Field formerly occupied by George AlIen, a glove cloth weaver
