Annie Furnass began making toffee on Penrith's King Street in 1910, and the shop has changed hands the way heirlooms should — managed by the Fearons, owned for forty years by Neil Boustead, and since March 2022 by Kathryn Graves, Penrith born and bred, who queued at the counter long before she held the keys. The move to Brunswick Road happened in 1956 and nothing much has been allowed to happen since: the fudge and toffee are made in eight brass pans in the back and wrapped by hand, and the shop's own history claims royal custom across the decades, a claim the guide passes along in the shop's voice rather than its own. Some businesses are recipes with a roof; this is one.
