Lost chocolate factory where 'everyone' from one town worked

It's been over 70 years since one Merseyside chocolate factory was at the heart of one town.

Back in 1952, Cadbury Bros Ltd began building a factory in Moreton, Wirral in the hopes of regenerating Merseyside after WWII. Two years later, the factory and its surroundings were completed and it was officially opened on September 17 by Mrs Lawrence Cadbury.

The much-loved factory, based on Pasture Road, saw workers across the decades create family favourites from Cadbury chocolates to biscuits, hot chocolate powder and more. The site was also said to have had its own library and social club with activities for workers to enjoy.
