Edna, Cadbury was most definitely not a Bristol company; it was only after the 2 families decided they had some synergy [Quakers] that they decided to merge [more of a Cadbury takover]. Cadbury was always based near Birmingham. The quintessential Bristol company was J.S Fry and Sons. It's only in recent times that, with numerous takovers, the J S Fry name has disappeared from manufacturing as a legal entity, but is very much alive as a brand on Turkish Delight, Chocolate Cream etc Peter On 10/18/10, liverpud <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > Heard this was a good book by Deborah Cadbury.... > especially in view that Cadbury and Fry were Bristol companies. > > Edna ~ sunny Ottawa > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Apparently this book was discussed today on CBC Radio and the author was interviewed. It is not in our local library as yet. Will look forward to reading it.
