Blackpool rock maker leads crusade to protect British seaside staple
Stanton & Novelty is one of 10 Blackpool businesses that handmakes UK rock, but cheap imports and MP scandals are frustrating attempts to gain geographical protection.
At a small factory making Blackpool rock, the flavours might be different from previous generations but the techniques and skills are the same as they were 60 years ago.
Stepping inside the Stanton & Novelty factory in Blackpool is like entering a time capsule. The smell of burnt sugar is intense. Big splodges of colourful hot toffee are like abstract artworks.
Holidaymakers on the promenade at Blackpool where Stanton & Novelty Confectioners, a family firm, has been making traditional Blackpool rock in the Lancashire seaside resort since 1969. Ten sweet makers in the town asking for protected status for their product which is facing competition from cheap Chinese imports.
