' CARR'S BISCUIT FACTORY. This site opened in 1834. Interesting facts - The first biscuits to ever to be made on mass by a production process were made here. By 1919 the factory employed 4,000 people. It is the original home to Carr's Table Water Biscuits. It was renamed McVitie's in the 1970's when sold by Carr's to United Biscuits. Today (2020) it is still producing biscuits although now owned by a Turkish Company (Pladis). It is the oldest continually-operating biscuit factory in the world! And the majority of Carlisle residents will still refer to it as Carr's or McVities. '
