Cadbury's new owner, Kraft, says it plans to close the company's Somerdale factory in Keynsham, near Bristol.
Just last week it said it would keep it open. The shutdown would mean the loss of 400 jobs.

BBC News - Cadbury's Bristol plant to close by 2011
why oh why oh why  10 years time, I bet you will next to no Cadburys production in the UK. What a shame, another British stalwart to dispear into history. Thanks hedgefund shareholders for sellling your souls....
Big shame, the Unions said this would happen.
I must admit I am gutted not only was it part of the make up of the UK but also a massive part of Birmingham's identity. Back in the day My grandad used to drive the wagons for cadburys then he moved onto bluebirds. I can still remember using his Cabdurys and blue birds staff card to get cheap sweets as a child. no wonder I have got 22 fillings can anyone here remember bluebirds confectionery.

Grandparents spent some at Cadburys, living just down the road from Bourneville and my sister worked at IT Net which was owned by Cadburys. Such a shame. A lot of people get over sentimental when it comes to UK companies getting bought out by overseas firms, the reality is, a lot of them would have folded without the needed investment and expansion, but Cadburys seemed to be in a strong position, and wanted to stay independant. Ahh well, theres still BAE, at least for the moment, no doubt China will buy it sooner or later
