Uncle Joe's Mint Balls have been made in Wigan by William Santus & Co. Ltd since 1898. They contain only three ingredients, pure London Fourths brown cane sugar, the finest American peppermint oils, and cream of tartar, using the same traditional methods as when Mrs Santus originally made the sweets in her kitchen. This factory in Dorning Street was opened in 1919. Interesting history at http://www.uncle-joes.com/index.cgi?action=page&pageno=2
