Teddy Gray’s Sweet Shop, a film by Martin Parr which is part of the Black Country Stories | DMB Media – Worldwide project and personal career management

Magnum photographer, Martin Parr returns to using a film camera in this wonderfully engaging documentary about Teddy Gray’s sweet factory in Dudley in the West Midlands. Established in 1826, Teddy Gray’s has always been a family owned and run business. Five generations have worked and contributed towards the business of keeping the traditional, hand-made methods of sweet making alive.

The Teddy Gray film is part of the Black Country Stories body of work commissioned by Multistory to document life in the Black Country by capturing and celebrating the unique mix of communities living in the area and of existing traditional Black Country life.

Filmed and directed by Martin Parr. A Multistory Production, 2011
