Treagle & Sons Manufacturing Confectioner

Description

Business TypeAgriculture & Food ProductionHistory

Treagle & Sons Manufacturing Confectioner was a family owned business. George Treagle established the business about 1893-1898 in Bell Street. The family also resided here. He had nine sons.

In days gone by this site had been occupied by a stable and was the site of Salvation Army meetings. In 1918 the business was located between Cafe Majestic and the Caledonian Hotel on Bell Street.

At one time the factory employed about 20 people for jobs such as ‘Sugar boilers’, delivery men and travelers who took orders from shops.

All sorts of confectionery from boiled lollies to chocolates were produced by the Treagles, and were very popular due to the high quality of their sweets. The Treagle brand of icing sugar was one of their best sellers.

When George (senior) died in 1917 he had been conducting the business for 24 years in the same location.

A. M. Johnson bought the confectionery business in Bell Street from the Treagles in 1921.
