Life
John Cadbury was born in Birmingham on August 12th, 1801, to Richard Tapper Cadbury and his partner Elizabeth Head. He was from a wealthy Quaker family who migrated to the west of England. John began attending Joseph Crosfield Quaker School in Hartshill, Warwickshire, where he went to school. He was not allowed to enter a university in the early 19th century, so he could not pursue a career in medicine or law.
A military career was also out of the question, because Quakers are historically and mainly pacifist. So, as with many other Quakers of the day, he turned his attention to company. He opened a 93 Bull Street, Birmingham, 1824, after being apprenticed to a tea dealer in Leeds in 1818. He enjoyed chocolate making and eventually decided to start commercial production by opening a warehouse in Crooked Lane. He had 16 lines of drinking chocolate and eleven lines of cocoa in 1842. He and his brother Benjamin formed Cadbury Brothers in 1846, which later moved to a new factory in Bridge Street. The Cadbury brothers pushed out of the grocery chain, which was passed on to John Barrow Cadbury's son, Richard Barrow Cadbury in 1850 (Barrow's was a prominent Birmingham store until the 1960s). Following his wife's death, the marriage was ended by mutual consent in 1856, but John retired in 1861 in 1861. Richard and George, Richard and George, were granted the business's custody.
John Cadbury became a founder of the Animals Friend Society, a forerunner of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Cadbury married twice. In 1826, he married Priscilla Ann Dymond (1799–1828), but she died two years later. In Lancaster on July 24, 1832, he married Candia Barrow, the daughter of George Barrow and his wife Elizabeth Pumphrey, and had seven children: Thomas (1837–1866), Joseph (1839–1865), Thomas (1841–1865).
Richard and George moved to an area of what was then north Worcestershire, just north of Northfield and King's Norton centred on Bournbrook Hall, where they established the garden village of Bournville, which is now a major suburb of Birmingham.
The Cadbury factory, which is the company's main UK manufacturing site, was built by the family. The factory's district has been dry for more than a century, with no alcohol being sold in bars, bars, or stores. Residents have battled to keep this alive, winning a court fight in March 2007 with Britain's biggest supermarket chain Tesco to prevent it from selling alcohol in its local stores.
