Pontefract Cakes



This is The Margate Train and they recently advertised that they have an English Sweet Shop on board so when we got asked for Pontefract Cakes by one of our customers at the OPHome where we volunteer each week we knew just where to come.




Pontefract cakes (for the uninitiated) are small round black discs of licorice which are made in the town of Pontefract in Yorkshire, England.




They have quite a selection of sweets (known at 'lollies' here.

I think we will have made one little old lady very happy, even if they were $3 for 100 grams!!
