Sugar-baker

A sugar-baker was the owner of a sugar house, a factory for the refining of raw sugar from Barbados.

Sugar refining would normally be combined with sugar trading, which was a lucrative business.

The architectural historian Kerry Downes gives an example of one sugar baker's house in Liverpool being estimated to bring in £40,000 a year in trade from Barbados.
