Museum chiefs have taken a crunch decision to acquire the complete contents of the last

Museum chiefs have taken a crunch decision to acquire the complete contents of the last rock making shop to close in Redcar. A display about how the sticky stuff was made, combined with a photographic display of the resort as a whole will be on show. John Robert Jenny set up Rockfellers in 1935 to cater for the thousands of seaside trippers who flocked to Redcar. Curator Phil Philo is pictured with some of the equipment. 3rd February 1989

EDITORS COMMENTS
Museum chiefs have made a momentous decision to preserve the rich history of Redcar's confectionary industry by acquiring the complete contents of the last rock making shop to close its doors. This print captures curator Phil Philo alongside some of the vintage equipment that once brought joy to thousands of seaside trippers who flocked to Redcar. Established in 1935 by John Robert Jenny, Rockfellers became an iconic destination for those seeking traditional sweets and treats.
