Magnum photographer, Martin Parr, returns to using a film camera in this wonderfully engaging documentary about Teddy Gray's sweet factory in Dudley in the Black Country, West Midlands.
Established in 1826, Teddy Gray's has always been a family owned and run business. Five generations have worked and contributed towards the business of keeping the traditional, hand-made methods of sweet making alive.
The film is part of the Black Country Stories body of work commissioned by Multistory to document life in the Black Country by capturing and celebrating the unique mix of communities living in the area and of existing traditional Black Country life.
Multistory is supported by Sandwell Council and Arts Council England.

Just bought a large container of your small pear drops. Delicious. Had them shipped to my mother, who will send them to me in Georgia, USA.

Growing up around whiteheath/lion farm estate we used to go up oakham and walk to Dudley and Coseley baths in the summer holidays. I remember the smell of Teddy Grays mixed with the old Brewery up by top church. Magical.

Stephen fry brought me here.... And I'm so glad he did! What an AMAZING place. I dare Google them to see if they're still in business as it would break my heart if they got swept away by more modern businesses. Now, off to buy a stick of rock.

This is really awe-inspiring! Love the calendars in the background - Mr. Gray with the woman in the bikini and the woman with the bare-chested man. :) Nice to see a film about something so positive and downright like-able instead of the typical documentary films focusing on war, poverty, drug addiction, etc...

Brilliant! I really miss these sweets (I'm diabetic now) but I remember loving just about everything they sold. The herbal tablets were amazing, and thankfully I *can* still have an ice cream every so often. I just wish they made sugar-free sweets -- plenty of other traditional places do them now, so come on Teddy Grays! You'd get my money for sure!

@@DJenerate Yeah, I was in Bewdley recently and they do too. Trouble is they're extremely expensive, getting on for two quid for 100g. Warmans in Worcester does sugar free sweets for much less, so I go there now.

I just bought some Gray’s Herbal Tablets and by coincidence up popped this documentary. I’m just hoping that the company is still being run along similar lines. It would be wonderful to think that this wonderful business continues to flourish. My favourites have always been toffee bonbons. Love their shop and goodies. Hope they go on forever.
