The Cadbury factory in Bournville, where the story of British chocolate begins. Founded by Quaker brothers George and Richard Cadbury, the factory was at the heart of an ambitious social experiment - a business built around principles of community, welfare and social responsibility. The painting depicts the factory as it still stands today: a physical reminder of the ideals on which Cadbury was founded, and the starting point for the journey through industry, capitalism and changing values that runs throughout Kid in a Sweet Shop.
