Window of Delights
Calderdale Industrial Museum opened its doors for the Heritage Open Days Weekend.
This museum, which is run by volunteers, is rarely open to the public (funding/staffing problems etc) but houses some very interesting exhibits.
Mackintosh's was famous for its toffee and went on to develop brands such as Quality Street (1936), Rolo (1938), Caramac (1959) and Toffee Crisp (1963).
In 1969 the company merged with Rowntree's to form Rowntree Mackintosh, which was itself taken over by Nestlé in 1988.
Quality Street is still made in Halifax.
A rather charming stained glass window is here.
