This is the story of an empire founded on pigs. It tells of how a
small town on the River Marden, once prosperous from the wool
trade, became famous for its Wiltshire cured ham and bacon, tasty
sausages and delicious pork pies. Products loved across the nation
and world, and even consumed by royalty. At its peak the C&T
Harris factory employed 2,000 people, processing 5,000 pigs a week,
producing 100 tonnes of pies, sausages and cooked meats. The Harris
brand remained strong by changing hands and merging with other
companies, surviving until 1982. After its demolition the site was
redeveloped, incorporating a new library, shops and houses. The
name lives on in street names, public buildings and a recreation
ground gifted to the town. Illustrated by a wide variety of images,
some of which are previously unpublished, this is a fond tribute to
an important contributor to the local economy and community.
