Hi Barbara, In Kelly's Directory for 1924 Roocroft's was listed as a manufacturing confectioners, office address Merehall Street, Bolton. The Works was in Roocroft St. Of course they may have relocated during this time. Bolton Archives have trade directories around the time you're looking at, which may help. Bolton Archives have just 1 matching title, i.e. Confectionary Companies and Food Products : Local Cuttings 1966 - 1996.
