After 126 years, the London factory was closed by then owner BSN on Wednesday 26 May 1989. Left derelict for a long period, the former premises were eventually redeveloped into what today is called the Tower Bridge Business Complex. In late 2011, a tinned Christmas pudding was discovered at the back of a kitchen cupboard in Poole, Dorset. Donated to the museum at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, it was a "Peek, Frean & Co's Teetotal Plum Pudding—London, High Class Ingredients Only" from the 1900s. It was one of a thousand puddings sent on behalf of Agnes "Aggie" Weston, superintendent of the Royal Naval Temperance Society – hence its recipe being teetotal), (alcohol-free) – to British troops during the Boer War.
