The sweet shop in the town at Beamish Museum, set in 1913, also has a sweet factory. When we were there last week, we watched black bullets being made in the traditional way (though without the crushed black beetles that were used 100 years ago to colour the sweets).
Across the road, the recreated bakery was in full swing, pumping out lots of loaves, cakes and pies. The bakery opened 2 years ago. I attended the opening and filmed it though never got round to editing the video. If I can find the old files, and have a few spare minutes, I will do the editing and post it on to YouTube.
