Whether in wartime or peace, tales of love, laughter and hardship
from the girls in the Rowntrees factory in Yorkshire "On a warm
Monday morning in 1932, just two days after leaving school,
fourteen-year-old Madge was about to join her nine brothers and
sisters at Rowntree's. The smell of chocolate was in the air but as
she walked up the road, her footsteps slowed at the daunting
thought of what lay ahead..." From the 1930s through to the 1980s,
as Britain endured war, depression, hardship and strikes, the women
at the Rowntree's factory in York kept the chocolates coming. This
is the true story of The Sweethearts, the women who roasted the
cocoa beans, piped the icing and packed the boxes that became gifts
for lovers, snacks for workers and treats for children across the
country. More often than not, their working days provided welcome
relief from bad husbands and bad housing, a community where they
could find new confidence, friendship and when the supervisor
wasn't looking, the occasional chocolate.
