Crawford's Biscuits
From Graces Guide
1813 William Crawford founded what became Crawford Biscuits, starting off in a small shop in Shore of Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Introduction of cheap sugar and flour, plus chemical raising agents such as bicarbonate of soda, led to the development of many sweet biscuit recipes at this time.
In Britain several entrepreneurs laid the foundations of the modern biscuit industry. The firms of Carrs, Huntley and Palmers, and Crawfords were all established in this period.
1962 United Biscuits acquired William Crawford and Sons and the remaining shares in the public company D. S. Crawford (of Edinburgh)[1]
