From strathfieldheritage.com:
The Arnott’s Biscuit Factory operated at Homebush from 1908 to 1997, when it was relocated to Huntingwood. However, the administrative offices of Arnott’s Biscuits are still located in George Street Homebush.
Arnott’s Biscuits were originally established in West Maitland in the NSW Hunter region by William Arnott, a baker and pastry cook. Arnott immigrated to Australia from Scotland in 1848 with his brother David, also a baker. After experiencing financial setbacks, floods and harsh economic conditions, Arnott moved the business to Newcastle NSW. Newcastle was expanding and had a busy port, factors that supported new and growing businesses.
