It's a great item. I like the idea that even today you can sniff the same chocolate scent that surrounded Cadbury employees over 120 years ago. Viv.
according to my aunt paul it was a great place to work for...she was there for over 40 yearsIt was a wonderful place to visit!!
yes paul aunt june loved it there...when she came to visit us 6 kids down villa st she would always bring us a couple of brown boxes of those little penny bars of choc i think there was 100 in a box..what a treat that wasHi Lyn, it must have been,truly a marvellous place to work, in the 50's and 60's went many times with the school visit program, lots of free goodies to!!
too right paul...we also used to do well with our other auntie who was manageress on a fruit farm...when she visited from evesham she came with a big box of lovely apples...happy daysYes Lyn , those treats were a God send, for us kids in those days, as we did't have much!!
Love the family connection to the Cadbury Railway; my Great Grandfather (Jack Stanford) was the Cadbury railway foreman from 1907 to 1944; I am working on a book presently on the family railway history and obviously the railway around the factory will feature heavily. Would love to hear any recollections you may have. PaulThat‘s interesting as it was my dad who worked at Parkside and his dad was an engine driver on the Cadbury’s railway line. If you do have any photos that would be fantastic.
