In 1824, John Cadbury opened a grocers shop at 93 Bull Street, Birmingham. Among other things, he
sold cocoa and drinking chocolate, which he prepared himself using a pestle and mortar.
The Cadbury manufacturing business was born in 1831, when John Cadbury decided to start producing
on a commercial scale and bought a four-storey warehouse in nearby Crooked Lane.
By 1842 John Cadbury was selling no less than 16 varieties of drinking chocolate and 11 different
cocoas! The earliest preserved price list shows that you could buy drinking chocolate in the form of both
pressed cakes and powder.
In 1847, the Cadbury brothers' booming business moved into a new, larger factory in Bridge Street in the
centre of Birmingham.
18th century France produced pastilles (tablets) and bars. But it wasnt until Bristol company Fry & Son
made a chocolate delicieux a manger in 1847 that the first bar of chocolate appeared, as we know it
today.
