From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toffo's are still sold under the Mackintosh brand
[edit] Search for the Rowntree
Anyone know if that dude found the Rowntree in the end? I don't recall him ever finding it, with the bursting bugs 'episode' being the last one I remember seeing.
- That's actually precisely why I came to this page. I was obsessed with that game. Does anybody have any info on it that they can stick in this article? grarap (talk) 14:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)grarap
[edit] Mackintosh
The Mackintosh factory was in Chapelfield, Norwich. The site is now occupied by the recently constructed Chapelfield Shopping Mall. Interestingly, in front of the entrance of the new Chapelfield Mall, there is a restaurant named Mackintosh's.
[Information from the Chapelfield website] This site was originally host to Caley's of Norwich, manufacturers of mineral water then later, hot drinking chocolate and chocolat bars. Mackintosh aquired the site in 1931.
Caley's are still present in Norwich.
A large copper font, which was used in the Mackintosh factory for the the manufacture of toffee, now resides in Norwich Cathedral.
[edit] Rowntree family
This article and its redirect from Rowntree and its multifold articles on types of confectionery, has made it difficult to find members of the Rowntree family, who founded the company. ODNB lists:
- Rowntree, John Stephenson (1834–1907), found in Rowntree, Joseph (1801–1859), educationist
- Rowntree, John Wilhelm (1868–1905), chocolate manufacturer and religious activist
- Rowntree, Joseph (1801–1859), educationist
- Rowntree, Joseph (1836–1925), cocoa and chocolate manufacturer
- Rowntree, Joshua (1844–1915), social reformer
- Rowntree, (Benjamin) Seebohm (1871–1954), sociologist and businessman
Can we have a dab page at "Rowntree", please? === Vernon White (talk) 01:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
