English: Bush Boakes Allen is a company formed from another started by Stafford Allen
...I decided to head back for another look and found quite a few bits id missed first time around..
Want a bit of history?
Stafford Allen set up a farm and factory on the outskirts of Long Melford in 1899 to make natural pharmaceuticals, condiments and perfumes by milling herbs and spices, many of them grown on the spot. These included belladona, digitalis, liquorice and peppermint. The factory also milled imported ginger and pepper, a variety of gums and other spices, and made food flavouring essences (butter, almond, honey-cream and madeira) and naturally-based insecticides such as pyrethrum and derris.
The business flourished, and the association with the Allen family has continued for a hundred years. It is now "Bush Boake Allen" and until 2002 made the most wonderful smells in the village street when the wind was in the right direction! Now, taken over by International Flavours and Fragrances Ltd. the plant has been closed down.
