  • This excerpt from: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-60459344.html "Local historian Peter Lee this week got tongues wagging when he devilishly declared that a mystery building discovered in Nuneaton town centre was, in fact, a Victorian treacle and jam factory - the origin of the town's bizarre nickname. The red-bricked three-storey building, now made visible by the demolition of shops in Queens Road, is real enough."
