Thanks to all for the ideas and links ......... you have all provided me with plenty of research to delve into ........ I wonder if there was another Cadburys factory in Moreton prior to the one in the picture?Thanks garstonite for that!...... will have to look into that!
Kath, why did I not think of the trade directories? dehhhhhhh!
Thankyou everyone, so much for all your help.

Cadbury Moreton was built in 1958.  The first time they had a factory in this part of the country.  Bournville being the main factory of course.

Bournville is in or near Birmingham the home of Cadbury's.  I think the town is called Bournville?  The Cadbury family were quakers and were well thought of by their employees I understand.

Sorry I can't tell you more.

Try a different way of searching,Go back to the directories and look for you ancestors name Under resident (Chester).Sometimes but not allways, in brackets, they give who they work for.I have been doing the directories for years and found that they are usually big establishment ,For the want of a better word :)
