As Cadbury’s chocolate marks 200 years, do you know its Christian origins?
Janice Pibworth
Cadbury is synonymous with chocolate and has been a household name for many years. The firm is celebrating its 200 years this year.
In 1824 John Cadbury opened his grocery shop in Birmingham, which sold tea, coffee and cocoa. The Cadbury business went into decline following the death of his wife, and then two of his sons, Richard and George, took over the firm. The Cadbury brothers struggled to make a profit for the first few years. Each brother contemplated career moves but eventually, with the successful developments surrounding chocolate manufacturing, the business flourished.
