[edit] History
Burton's first biscuits were baked by George Burton (born 1829 in Leek, Staffordshire) who began production on Corporation Street in Blackpool. The Burton's Biscuits firm was founded by his grandson Joseph Burton in 1935. They had a factory in Slough until the early 1980s. On 18 March 2007, Burton's Foods was acquired by Duke Street Capital.[1]
