History Of Biscuit Factory
The site of the Biscuit Factory was, in fact, once home to a successful biscuit manufacturing business. 140 Little Donegall Street was occupied by Marsh & Co, who produced their renowned biscuits there. Marsh & Co played an integral role in Belfast’s community throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
After multiple fires and hardship Marsh & Co liquidated in 1928 and moved their business elsewhere. Many business used the site afterwards, adapting the property to suit their industry. We hope that Biscuit Factory plays a part in restoring the site to its former glory and playing homage to its heritage.
