The purpose-built factory on Bishopthorpe Road opened in 1926 and was the last home of the

iconic confectionery making business, Terry’s of York.

Designed by leading architects of the day J.G. Davies and L.E. Wade, these buildings were clearly

designed to make a bold statement about the status of the company, one of the major employers

in the city with its products and name beinginextricably linked to York.
