Cristo Crisps at Turvey

From 1953 to 1965 the Mill was managed by Mr Dashwood and manufactured Cristo Crisps.


Here is an aerial photo of the mill taken at this time.


There are more pictures on the page about Turvey Mill.

Cristo Crisps were made by Melhuish Limited which were based in Camberwell Green, London as well as Turvey.  Melhuish Ltd had been making food since the 1880s.

At some point Cristo Crisps were taken over by Ranks-Hovis-McDougall.


In 1963 manufacture was managed by a company called Chipmunk, which was a joint venture between Ranks and Leibigs.

Cristo Crisps was wound up and ceased production on 11 April 1972.
