Description
The Thames Refinery was opened by Henry Tate & Sons in 1878. The factory's biggest product was sugar cubes. The factory was seven and a half acres but was doubled in size in 1908. The refinery still operates today.
In the 17th and 18th century, sugar was imported from sugar cane plantations in sub-tropic locations like the West Indies. By the 18th century, sugar beet was being grown locally in Europe, so Henry Tate & Sons imported large amounts of sugar from Germany, Holland, Belgium and France.
