1900 Emanuel Pickles started a small confectionery business at Topping Street, near the bottom of Walmersley Road. A couple of years later he was joined in the enterprise by Harry Hargreaves. They commenced making ‘Tower Sauce’, along with some jams and sweets.

The business grew and moved to larger premises in the old ‘Wolstenholmes’ factory on Huntley Mount Road, off Bell Lane.

Changed name to Bensons Confectionery - there was no person called Benson and chosen as more marketable.
