Confectioners in Pontypridd
« on: Tuesday 14 October 25 18:25 BST (UK) »
Hi, anyone know anything about Atkins confectioners in Pontypridd. Looking for background info on 2 grand-aunts who were listed as confectioners in 1939, possibly at Atkins. It was possibly taken over for other manufacturing during the war.

Thanks

Cheers Comberton, brilliant. I did try newspapers but got loads of results for Webbers sweets, or deaths of people called Atkins.
