Printing blocks

Duckworth & Company (Essences) Limited, once the largest independently-owned flavourings firm in the UK, supplied flavours and essences around the world. Duckworth created flavours for food and drink products, including alcoholic beverages, sweets, dairy (ice cream, yoghurts, milks), savoury foods and soft drinks.

Duckworth & Co. was founded by William Duckworth in 1885 as a manufacturing chemist company. In 1896, they moved into impressive, purpose-built premises known as Old Trafford Essence Distillery on Chester Road in Old Trafford. For over 100 years, they manufactured concentrated soluble essences, essential oils and colours.

Duckworth also produced bottles of flavoured drinks for general sales and for the local ‘pop’ men to distribute locally. These included Green Lemon, Ginger Ale, Orange Crush, Quinine Tonic, Lime Juice and soda, all advertised as being ‘delicious, appetising and health-giving’.

In the early 19th century, before a more mechanised process had been developed, Duckworth’s labels were printed using a series of printing plates. The images and colours were built up using various metal printing plates mounted on wooden blocks. The bottle labels featured the Duckworth logo, three small hearts running across a larger heart shape.

When the company was taken over by American agriculture and food business Cargill in 2006 Duckworths had worldwide distribution and offices in Shenzhen, China, Bangalore, India and Cape Town, South Africa, with a technical centre in Beirut, Lebanon and a huge production factory in Runcorn, UK. When this takeover took place, Trafford Essence Distillery building was cleared of over 100 years’ worth of Duckworth’s history, and along with some archive material, this printing block became part of the Science and Industry Museum collection.

Duckworth created flavours for food and drink products, including alcoholic beverages, sweets, dairy (ice cream, yoghurts, milks), savoury foods and soft drinks.

Duckworth & Co. was founded by William Duckworth in 1885 as a manufacturing chemist company. In 1896, they moved into impressive, purpose-built premises known as Old Trafford Essence Distillery on Chester Road in Old Trafford. For over 100 years, they manufactured concentrated soluble essences, essential oils and colours.

Duckworth also produced bottles of flavoured drinks for general sales and for the local ‘pop’ men to distribute locally. These included Green Lemon, Ginger Ale, Orange Crush, Quinine Tonic, Lime Juice and soda, all advertised as being ‘delicious, appetising and health-giving’.

In the early 19th century, before a more mechanised process had been developed, Duckworth’s labels were printed using a series of printing plates. The images and colours were built up using various metal printing plates mounted on wooden blocks. The bottle labels featured the Duckworth logo, three small hearts running across a larger heart shape.

When the company was taken over by American agriculture and food business Cargill in 2006 Duckworths had worldwide distribution and offices in Shenzhen, China, Bangalore, India and Cape Town, South Africa, with a technical centre in Beirut, Lebanon and a huge production factory in Runcorn, UK. When this takeover took place, Trafford Essence Distillery building was cleared of over 100 years’ worth of Duckworth’s history, and along with some archive material, this printing block became part of the Science and Industry Museum collection.

Duckworth & Co. was founded by William Duckworth in 1885 as a manufacturing chemist company. In 1896, they moved into impressive, purpose-built premises known as Old Trafford Essence Distillery on Chester Road in Old Trafford. For over 100 years, they manufactured concentrated soluble essences, essential oils and colours.

Duckworth also produced bottles of flavoured drinks for general sales and for the local ‘pop’ men to distribute locally. These included Green Lemon, Ginger Ale, Orange Crush, Quinine Tonic, Lime Juice and soda, all advertised as being ‘delicious, appetising and health-giving’.

In the early 19th century, before a more mechanised process had been developed, Duckworth’s labels were printed using a series of printing plates. The images and colours were built up using various metal printing plates mounted on wooden blocks. The bottle labels featured the Duckworth logo, three small hearts running across a larger heart shape.

When the company was taken over by American agriculture and food business Cargill in 2006 Duckworths had worldwide distribution and offices in Shenzhen, China, Bangalore, India and Cape Town, South Africa, with a technical centre in Beirut, Lebanon and a huge production factory in Runcorn, UK. When this takeover took place, Trafford Essence Distillery building was cleared of over 100 years’ worth of Duckworth’s history, and along with some archive material, this printing block became part of the Science and Industry Museum collection.

Duckworth & Company (Essences) Limited, once the largest independently-owned flavourings firm in the UK, supplied flavours and essences around the world. Duckworth created flavours for food and drink products, including alcoholic beverages, sweets, dairy (ice cream, yoghurts, milks), savoury foods and soft drinks.

Duckworth also produced bottles of flavoured drinks for general sales and for the local ‘pop’ men to distribute locally. These included Green Lemon, Ginger Ale, Orange Crush, Quinine Tonic, Lime Juice and soda, all advertised as being ‘delicious, appetising and health-giving’.

In the early 19th century, before a more mechanised process had been developed, Duckworth’s labels were printed using a series of printing plates. The images and colours were built up using various metal printing plates mounted on wooden blocks. The bottle labels featured the Duckworth logo, three small hearts running across a larger heart shape.

When this takeover took place, Trafford Essence Distillery building was cleared of over 100 years’ worth of Duckworth’s history, and along with some archive material, this printing block became part of the Science and Industry Museum collection.
