First look inside the redeveloped former Rowntree's factory in York plus how the famous site used to look

York’s famous Rowntrees factory has undergone a huge redevelopment leading to the creation of 279 new homes.

Developed by Latimer with a gross development value of £80 million, the scheme’s first completions are expected this summer. The site, now named Cocoa Works, was previously home to the Rowntree’s factory from 1890, and employed over 6,000 staff in the 1920s.
