Once Upon A Time Chocolate

Small Pieces of History

Somerdale factory was once the home of chocolate manufacturing at Keynsham for such delights as Fry’s Chocolate Cream, the Double Decker, Dairy Milk, Chocolate Buttons, Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs, Cadbury’s Fudge, Chomp, Crunchie and Curly Whirly.

On this site since 1923 production ceased in 2010 and along with it went the delightful smell of chocolate manufacturing wafting across the river Avon Valley.

Today it is residential accommodation but the historic buildings remain intact.
