True, but there was (maybe still is) a factory down West.

You're probably thinking of Somerdale near Keynsham. It's Cadbury's
these days, but was originally Fry's.


It would have been somewhere more northeast of Bath. I'm sure it was
Nestle. Not near any town. (I should try on uk.chocolate.factory.)

Staverton. Seems I misremembered a bit. Anyway, there are a lot more
locations than I realised, but I don't think this one was ex-Rowntree.

But it's not quite as shown on their map. More east-south-east of
Bath, near Bradford on Avon.

That was a chilled dessert plant, rather than a chocolate factory as
such. It's been under threat of closure recently, with production moving
to France.

I went past it half way through a 100 mile bicycle ride, and I was
convinced that the route had deliberately gone past a chocolate factory
to taunt us. I don't know if I should let facts get in the way of such
a wild theory.

Same thing as listed at Cuddington, the SKI yogurt factory but, NOT
chocolate.
