Upthumb if you saw this on Kottke

There's nothing like a herbal tablet on a cold winter's morning!

I used to live in Wednesbury 1940s and 50s. Werked at thowd park a Lloyds it was a Bostin plerce. I now live on the Mediterranean but the old place still brings early memories

I just bought some Gray’s Herbal Tablets and by coincidence up popped this documentary. I’m just hoping that the company is still being run along similar lines. It would be wonderful to think that this wonderful business continues to flourish. My favourites have always been toffee bonbons. Love their shop and goodies. Hope they go on forever.

I used to live by the van driver they interviewed. He used the van to go home in. Whenever you walked passed it it always smelled of herbal tablets from 10ft away!

I think the fact that there's only one comment for this video shows what the people of Wednesbury think of this nonsense. What we need in Wednesbury is for the woke council and planners to ignore the government and the agenda 21 plans. What we really need is for the powers that be to not spend 3 million pounds on massive new paving projects where they're not needed, or new market stalls where they're not needed or making the two way high street into a one way street that stops traffic entering the town to reach the shops they need. We need more incentives for businesses and traders to come to Wednesbury to give the local people more choice and good service. Art is fine if it's free or cheap.

You can't beat old-fashioned sweets. Sweets to all the sweeties at Teddy Gray's.

Brilliant, well done all involved 👍

Your work is inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

I can buy pear drops when I attend Leighton hospital, but rarely. I’d buy more if I could. Wish I could buy from supermarkets

I live in Tipton and frequent good ol' Wednesbury

This was a fantastic watch. What an amazing story, and indeed factory!

Wow she’s a human calculator 😮 the way she can handle all the numbers just in her head! That’s incredible, a true asset to any company, can’t believe how long ago this was filmed tho, I hope it’s still the same old same old, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

This is the most famous company in the Black Country but not only that it developed its own famous black county suck and this business is a family owned business not owed by council at all also its sweets date back to Victorian years
