Chocolates
The chocolate side of the shop — the sort you choose in person rather than pick off a supermarket shelf.
Traditional sweet shop, open seven days
Yes, we've got liquorice wood.
The wall of jars, written out and searchable. Something Sweet sits on Bridge Gate in Hebden Bridge, open seven days a week.
Filter by kind, or type what you are after. If a thing is not on the list it may still be on the shelf, so ask at the counter.
Sold loose by the pound, or made up into tins, boxes, bags and gift boxes.
Nothing on the written list matches that. It is worth ringing anyway — the jars hold a good deal more than anyone has got round to typing out.
Handmade truffles
Truffles made by hand. Worth asking what is in before you settle on anything else.
Large boxes of mixed chocolates
For a birthday or a thank you. Also for a house you would rather not turn up at empty-handed.
Homemade fudge
Made here rather than bought in by the case, and sold by weight like most things in the shop.
Toffee
The proper chewy sort. One of the things sweet jars were invented to hold.
Caramels
Softer than the toffee, and a good deal kinder to anybody with a filling they are fond of.
Liquorice
Liquorice in its various shapes. If you like it you already know. If you do not, nothing here will change your mind.
Liquorice wood
The actual root you chew. People ring round half of Yorkshire looking for somewhere that still sells it. This is somewhere.
Old-fashioned mints
The strong, plain, thoroughly unfashionable ones that people come in specifically for.
And a rack of the rest
A range of other mints besides. If it is a mint, it is worth asking at the counter.
Gummies and jelly sweets
What the children head straight for, and what a fair number of grown-ups quietly buy as well.
Ice cream
Ice cream, for eating on the way back down Bridge Gate rather than carrying home.
Cold drinks
So you are not walking off with a bag of sweets and nothing to wash them down with.
Loose, by the pound
Weighed from the jar and priced by what it weighs. Take a quarter of four different things if you like. That is what a wall of jars is for.
Tins, boxes, bags and gift boxes
Made up as a present rather than handed over in a carrier bag. Built to the size you want, so say roughly what you have in mind.
Retro and nostalgic
A good part of the shelf is confectionery people grew up with and then stopped being able to find anywhere.
The jars hold more than this
This is a written list, and the wall is not. There is more in the jars than anyone could sensibly type out, and it changes. If you are after something in particular, ring the shop on 07123 456789 — or come and have a proper look, which is better.
Walls of traditional sweet jars, which is the whole point of the place.
