We are now celebrating Easter with chocolate eggs but did you know the first ones were produced locally. • In 1874 Joseph Cadbury, in his union st. Factory in Bristolmoulded the first ever commercial chocolate bar.
Fry’ chocolate made the first Easter egg in 1875 followed by the famous Fry’s Turkish delight in 1914.In 1919 Fry’s merged with Cadbury’s. And in 1923 the factory moved to the Somerdale site in Keynasham. In 1981 fry’s name was dropped.
Its very sad news that Somerdale factory is to close, and part of Bristolchocolate making history will be gone FOREVER!!! • THE END
