It started as a Scottish baker of ship's biscuits in a public house on The Shore, Leith in 1813. The bakery was acquired by Robert Mathie in 1817 and then William Crawford in 1856, when Mathie retired. William Crawford & Sons established large factories in Leith and Liverpool so that, at its peak, it was one of Britain's largest biscuit manufacturers and claimed to be its oldest. The company was acquired by United Biscuits in 1960 and is now a brand within their portfolio.

Collingham, Lizzie (2020). The Biscuit.The History of a Very British Indulgence. Random House. ISBN 9781473573468. Not since my childhood had I had the pleasure of devouring these rectangular shaped biscuits, until now. In 1856, William Crawford (1818–1889) bought an established bakery at 31 The Shore, Leith from Robert Mathie (1789–1863). The bakery specialised in ships' biscuits and had been established in 1813, [2] [3] with Mathie taking it over in 1817. [4]
Voted in past surveys as the nation’s favourite biscuit, Crawfords Custard Creams' popularity remains undiminished by time. The Elbe Street factory was expanded and modernised in the 1950s but demolished in the 1990s when housing in Leith's former industrial areas started to change the area. Around 200 people lost their jobs. [ citation needed]
Good to know
A favourite in almost every household, together with Custard Creams. Crawfords Bourbon Creams are crisp, tasty and the filling is just creamy enough. Delicious dunked, especially in cocoa or hot chocolate, excellent value for money. A biscuit barrel must. I always thought the name Bourbon came from the vanilla used to flavour them but my husband swears he can taste a slight hint of bourbon whisky in the cream filling. Who knows? Most popular with customers in United States of America (USA), France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, Australia, Netherlands and Greece, but you can buy Tasties Bourbon Creams for delivery worldwide. These Custard Creams are the family favourite. For myself I buy Ginger Nuts, but my daughter and my husband want the Custard creams. The thing about these (I do pinch one occasionally) is that they have produced the perfect biscuit to encase the creamy filling. Nothing like those ghastly puff pastry biscuits or that over-sweet crunchy type. These are (I imagine) one of Crawfords main products worldwide. PS. I used to have to fill my suitcase when on trips to the UK, but now it is so easy with BCS). Thanks. Custard creams are THE best biscuit in the world - ever! I have never met anyone who doesn't like them and I'm sure that's because that person doesn't actually exist.
