Visited the mighty shell of the former Thorntons chocolates factory in Belper with JamesS and Peter, the whole set up was relocated to new premises at Alfreton in 1999. It's the usual stripped down open warehouse look but with plenty of small gems to keep you amused! Thanks again to James for lending me his spare lens.

And yes.....the pervading smell of damp rum truffles is alive and well :)

Did no one try to snort the pile of sugar, and did you try the jelly teddies - bet you were tempted lol great pics nice one.
 
I took a similar shot to your "Vital treacle based numbers" one; only of chocolate deliveries but I've lost it.

It would of been titled "chocolate log...."

Toilet humour FTW.
