who created the first quality street sweet and where was the shop?
john mackintosh
in 1890 john mackintosh and his wife opened a shop in halifax, where they created a new kind of sweet by mixing hard toffee with runny caramel. these toffees were made from inexpensive local ingredients such as milk, sugar beets and eggs. they were so successful that in 1898 they expanded the operation to build the world's first toffee factory. it burned down in 1909 so john bought an old carpet factory and converted it into a new facility. when john mackintosh died, his son harold inherited the business and in 1936 he invented "quality street". the name was inspired by a play of the same name by j. m. barrie.
