Massive sugar refineries in Silvertown produced sugar and sugar products starting in the last quarter of the 19th Century. The pure sugar was either sold to confectioners to create candy and other foods, further refined into sugar products such as Golden Syrup, or sold to other countries. The three largest recipients of Great Britain's sugar exports in 1881 were Denmark, France, and Italy.
