See how one million candles a day were made in a busy factory, Price’s Patent Candle Company in Battersea, South London, in the year 1963. British PathΓ© captured the wide variety being made, from candles that look like fruit, to flowers, to funerary candles, to candles for ‘fun spots’… both ancient and ultra-modern.
