Inside the Manchester factory where Crunchy Nut Cornflakes were invented

It's been 100 years since cereal manufacturer Kellogg's first came to the UK.

Started in America after a failed attempt at making granola, Kellogg's founder, William Keith Kellogg, and his brother, Dr John Harvey Kellogg, changed breakfast forever when they accidently flaked wheat berries in the late 1800s. By 1922, the brand had arrived in the UK, with Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and All Bran being the first introduced and imported to the British public.

In the late 1920s we saw Rice Krispies, the "talking cereal" as it was marketed, while the Snap, Crackle and Pop characters first appeared in radio jingles in 1932. Six years later, Kellogg's came to Manchester, where the brand remains today.
