History of 36 North Street

2 November 1962

Mr A.R. Paske started a packaging business in an old chapel in North Street Burwell about 15 years ago, making strawberry chips. His Corrugated Fittings Limited became so successful that it was acquired by Tillotsons which makes containers for Black Magic chocolate and Senior Service cigarette packets. Their new factory employs 250 men and women who appear to be keen and happy; production is continuous and several hundred thousand boxes are sent off every day 62 11 02c.
