>  is treacle equivalent to molasses - anyone know???

No.  Treacle has some of a molasses flavor, but is lighter and sweeter.  (I
believe it works out to be a combination of molasses and sugar(s).)

Incidentally, I looked in a small dictionary which defined "treacle" as
simply "molasses".  However, this dictionary was printed in the U.S.
Diane, who was born and raised in Britain, objects strongly to this
definition.

Look for "Lyle's Golden Syrup."
