Campden tablets.
These are essentially Sodium Metabisulphite in tablet form, so why "Campden"?

I'm full of silly questions :whistle:
 
:D
I think they're named after chipping campden where they were developed about 100 years ago.

exactly, quote from Wikipedia;

"The name Campden tablet comes from the town of Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, England, where the original solution was developed in the 1920s by the Fruit and Vegetable Preserving Research Station - now Campden BRI. The idea was then taken up by the Boots Co. who developed the tablet."
