Henry Poppletons and sons, had their Sweet factory  on Tritton road,

Dawsons aquired it off them in the 1930's .

Hi Geoff  :)

I meant , Where Tritton road ended up being .

I am having trouble looking at the link you sent me , I cannot get it clear enough or large enough,

but it's good to know there was another sweetie factory in Lincoln.

Same one :)  It was next to Dawson's Boultham Leather Works on Rope Walk.

When you get to my link ...

choose (on the right) say 1907 1:2500 map ...

hold down Ctrl key and turn your mouse wheel one way or t'other. :)

so were Poppletons and Lindum confectionery the same company in the same place? My Gran was a boiled sweetmaker on her MC in 1927 and trying to find out if there was more than 1 sweetmaking company
Thanks Penny
