Rowntree's Chocolate Factory at Norwich
Rowntree's have received hundreds of letters from schoolchildren worried about their favourite chocolates.
Rolos and Yorkie bars roll off the production lines at the Norwich factory of Rowntree Mackintosh, and employees arrange Weekend chocolates and sweets in their boxes. Norwich South MP John Garrett is interviewed about prospects for the company workers following bids from Swiss companies Nestlé and Suchard to take over Rowntree's. He aims to raise this with the Monopolies and Mergers Commission as a matter of national interest. General manager Peter Edwards and women employees talk about the public response, the effect on their families and concern that the company should remain British.Later in 1988 Nestlé acquired Rowntree Mackintosh and in 1996 the Norwich factory was closed, though production of rebranded products continued at the York and Halifax factories.The reporter was Rebecca Athersone for this video made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television's early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.

What We Ate
If 'we are what we eat', then we're definitely not who we used to be...
The British diet has come a long way since the days when lard, suet and condensed milk were the staple of every kitchen, and when 'takeaway' invariably meant a fish supper. We still love our fish & chips - and our Sunday roasts, full English breakfasts, sausage & mash and neeps and tatties. But today our supermarkets stock food and ingredients from six continents, and our comfort food may just as likely be curry, sushi, risotto, chilli con carne or peri peri chicken.
This selection of cookery shows, news reports, adverts and debates gives a taste of how our appetites and our palates were transformed, as well as highlighting some of the food fads and fears that simmered up along the way. So take a seat, browse the menu, and remember: watch what you eat!
