Описание: Many German immigrants in the 19th century, especially from NW Germany, worked in the sugar industry in London's East End. The British obsession with sugar has deep roots in the slave trade, where enslaved workers produced sugar for over 170 years, earning it the moniker "white gold." This trade not only fuelled the slave industry but also drove the sugar refining sector in London, then known as sugar bakers because sugar was sold in cone-shaped sugar loaves. Grocers prominently displayed sugar loaves outside their shops, and locations like the Sugarloaf pub and Sugar Bakers Court reflect this history. Sugar theft was a significant crime, with cases like Philip Goodson's theft of 26 pounds of sugar leading to transportation. The sugar refining industry saw significant growth with the influx of German sugar bakers, establishing a community in London's East End. The laborious and dangerous refining process involved boiling, clarifying with bullocks' blood, and moulding into cones. Despite its complexity, the industry has made a significant contribution to British history.
