[malagabob]

Coleman’s makers of the famous English mustard is to close after manufacturing for over 160 years. Is it time to stock up?

[marval]

I have some, so should be alright.

Fake news. They are closing the Norwich plant and transferring production elsewhere.

Thank you for the link, so fifty people are to be effected. Taking into consideration natural wastage I can't see Norwich being brought to is knees.

Coleman was once asked by Queen Victoria how he amassed his fortune from mustard. He replied, "From the amount people leave on the side of their plates, ma'am".

It was probably a bigger blow to Norwich when the Mustard Museum & Shop closed last year (because they couldn't pay the £60,000p.a. rent required for their city centre premises).

For those who're interested in the history of the firm . . .

Perhaps you are not an expert on Norwich like others are Eccles!
No you limitations sweetie!

Eccles @18:32...lol!

I expect it will still be made somewhere cheaper, so your supply shouldn't be effected.

But its always sad to see a famous factory being closed, as the residents of Keynsham found to their cost when the Cadbury company was taken over in 2010.

[murraymints]

the shop/museum has closed Chris ? what a shame.. Norwich is proud of colemans and its heritage.. a sad loss

[murraymints]

100 staff to be laid off according to 6 o clock news

[Islay]

100 is still not going to cripple Norwich!!

[emmie]

i confess i never like their products finding it a bit sharp, but sad that they are closing their operations in Norwich but they are moving to premises elsewhere.
