“I should have retired but I came back because I can’t stay at home. It’s the thing that’s keeping me fit'
Rock factory workers have been showing how their skills are used to create the traditional Blackpool confectionery as the campaign to protect the candy is stepped up.
David Thorp, director of Stanton and Novelty Confectioners, said: “You have to think of letters as being 3D and about three feet long. So you’re not just writing the letter itself, you’re doing everything around it. You’re putting in what would be the white on a piece of paper if you wrote it out. Doreen said: “I’ve been doing this for 50-odd years, on and off. I worked for David’s grandad who was brilliant. When I started I was expecting my first daughter and she’s 46 now.
David added: “I think British people have a cultural affinity to Blackpool rock. There’s an expectation that if you go to the seaside you’ll buy a stick of rock that’s made in the UK. 99% of it is going to be made in Blackpool and that’s why it’s so important that we protect it. It’s part of our shared cultural heritage.”
