| Mustard was originally packed in wooden casks made on site in the cooperage. Later, in the tin shop, tinsfrom the tiny penny oval size up to the giant 50lb size were produced. Brightly coloured labels made in the firm's paper mill and printed on site were then attached to the filled tins by teams of girls and the mustard was ready to leave Carrow by road, rail, or river for its final destinations around the world. |
