Dudley's metropolitan borough was home to around 312,900 people, with the built-up area itself considerably smaller.
T. Cook's Sweet Shop, preserved at the Black Country Museum
Dudley is home to the Black Country Living Museum, established in 1975, a 26-acre recreation of Black Country life from the mid-19th to early 20th century. Among its shops is T. Cook's Sweet Shop, named after Thomas Cook, who ran a small confectionery business at 21 Bond Street, Dudley, between 1871 and 1901 — a modest front-room shop with a back-room preparation area, exactly as period sweet businesses were run. Visitors can still experience it staffed and stocked in period style.
A museum piece, not a wholesaler
A beautifully preserved Victorian sweet shop makes for a great day out, but it's a museum exhibit, not a business set up to take trade orders or sort a vegan-specific or halal-friendly range in bulk for an event.
