Not sure if I am posting this in the correct section...appologies if not.
Any information on the Tate and Lyle Company greatly appreciated,as my Husbands family connects into the Lyle component.

Hi Dawn,
From a Google search, found this;

You could always contact them to see if they have an archivist who might be able to help.

LOVE your Golden Syrup  ;D
