17 thanks Zico
No problem with the Trebor question : My dad's first job aged 14 (in 1930) was as lorry driver's mate for Trebor. His elder sister's husband was the driver. He had some off-putting stories about the returning class sweet jars. These jars were boiled in a large vat along with their contents of old sweets, old labels and dead vermin, wasps, mice, etc. The scum was ladelled off the top of the sugary brew and the remaining liquor was used in the manufacture of cough sweets. Trebor's factory was in Forest Gate and another Aunt and Uncle of mine had the factory's chimney at the bottom of their garden.
