Jobs in a chocolate factory

Today we had a Look at how jobs have changed over time in a factory. Technology has changed since the early 1900's,this has meant that less people are needed to manually work in a chocolate factory. Nowadays chocolate is made with machines rather than by hand. 

We had a look at jobs that people did in the "real life willy wonka factory" which was created by Joseph row tree. These photos were taken in 1912!
