[AllanUK]

Trying to find where Northumbria Confectionery Works was situated in Blyth. All assistance gratefully received.

Newspapers pop up with "Blyth" only but did spot -

Morpeth Herald, 13 Jan 1933

[hanes teulu]

"J Marshall, Confectioner, Turner Street" - could be one of his outlets rather than works?
Also spotted "Confectionary Stores, Turner Street".

Would normally check "Historical Directories" but I cannot access the site at the moment - summat to do with a "proxy error".

This might interest you, the shop was on Turner Street opposite the Market Place and not far from the junction with Waterloo Road.

Another. Sorry, I hope this isn't getting boring for you!

A postcard date stamped 1918. You can just make out the name Marshall on the sun canopy.

I have a copy of Kelly's Directory, Northumberland 1929. There are three listings for Marshalls businesses at Blyth, though I cannot say they were related.

I & R Marshall, Confectioners, 7 Central Buildings, Union Street, Blyth.

Mrs Barbara Marshall, Shopkeeper, 56 Bowes Street, Blyth

James Marshall, Confectioner, 4 Turner Street, & Baker 23 Regent Street, Blyth

I hadn't heard previously of the Northumbria Confectionary Works, so thank you for asking the initial question. Another interesting subject expanding my / our knowledge of old Blyth.
