George Dunhill, Robinson and Wordsworth, Haribo, and Dunhills Ltd blue plaque — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Liquorice. Liquorice was introduced to Pontefract as a medicinal plant in the Middle Ages. It was probably brought by crusaders returning from the Middle East to Pontefract Castle or by monks travelling to the town's monasteries. This road links Dunhill's, founded in 1760, and now Haribo, to the former liquorice works of Robinson and Wordsworth founded in 1877. Recorded plaque organisation: Rotary International.

George Dunhill founded Dunhills Ltd in 1760, which became a prominent liquorice producer in Pontefract; Robinson and Wordsworth, established in 1877, was another significant liquorice manufacturer that contributed to the town's reputation for liquorice confectionery, later acquired by Haribo.
