Canal experts complete £50k gate work at wharf once used by Cadbury's to transport chocolate

A charity has replaced a safety gate on a stretch of canal which has a special place in the region's - and nation's - history.

Between 1911 and 1961, Cadbury’s used the wharf and associated buildings at Knighton, in Staffordshire, to process local milk into ‘chocolate crumb’, which was then transported by boat to Cadbury’s in Bournville along the canal.
