My visit at the Norwich Heritage Centre offered plenty of imagery to help us visualise what the factories used to look like when they were under different management. Owain also found old advertisements and newspaper cuttings at the archive, which provided a visual artistic representation of advertisement in the consumerism around chocolate in those particular years. This blogpost was a valuable resource as it gave an in-depth, historical, overview about this particular factory and the different managements it went under, although it speaks most about Caley's, the original founders. We all found this a great insight about the history of the plot of land being very consumerist and decided to visit the local Bridwell Musuem as we were aware that they had collections about the old chocolate factory. Now that I'm aware of using archives as a research source, they're something that I've become excited to go into when I'm researching about local history and communities. Without knowing of its value beforehand, the possibility of discovering these memorabilia would not have had happen. Using archives is now something I'm going to apply to my practice regularly for research, as I find the jewels I would not think as easily attainable.
