My nan had a caravan down at Bewdley years ago, as kids our treat was a trip to teddy greys the sweet shop at the bottom of the high street, I can still remember the smell inside that shop and what seemed like ages looking at all the jars before you made your choice of which sweets to buy and what would last the longest, and of course the shop is still there today selling its lovely wares

Were the narrow bars of toffee called Arrow bars, cost I think 1d and came in different flavours.
Seem to remember peeling the paper off was quite tricky as it stuck to the toffee.

If you were heading towards halesowen and that factory was on the left side good chance I I recall not long after passing the factory you came upon a island (roundabout)

I remember the Arrow bars - loved the spearmint one; but I don’t think they did a banana & toffee version.
 
Maurice, there were two kinds of "Refreshers", the round hard ones like tablets in a stripy tube and the ones in the photo which were lovely lemony sherbet filled chews. They were very bad for my fillings!! My mouth is watering!

Frozen Jubbly's. when you opened them the one half was lovely as it contained all the orange juice, the other half was just ice. The shop around the corner from me also froze Vimto in the same shaped carton as Jubbly's. They were nice too on a hot day.
Has anybody mentioned Terry's Caramac. Cant remember exactly what the flavour was except that it was a light tan colour, and had the look and texture of chocolate.
