HISTORY OF THE COMPANY: it all started in 1817, when Samuel Parkinson invented a treat called butterscotch for his confectionery store on Doncaster High Street. The sweet was little more than a local treat, but then in 1851 Parkinson cannily presented his butterscotch to Queen Victoria when she opened the St Leger horse race. She enjoyed it so much that he was appointed SOLE supplier to the Royal Family, and that's how Parkinson’s Butterscotch became so famous!
