April 2021 - 13:23 GMT Slavery is when someone actually owns you like a piece of property. Servitude is similar to slavery - you might live on the person's premises, work for them and be unable to leave, but they don't own you. Forced labour means you are forced to do work that you have not agreed to, under the threat of punishment.

Henry Isaac Rowntree died unexpectedly in 1883, leaving his share in the business to his brothers Joseph and John Stephenson Rowntree. The success of Rowntrees as a cocoa and chocolate business depended on their mastery of the 'Van Houten' process in the manufacture of cocoa butter and cocoa powder. In 1885 Joseph Rowntree engaged Cornelius Hollander, a Dutchman, who claimed knowledge of the process for the extraction of cocoa butter from the roasted nib. Hollander worked in seclusion and never divulged his information to the company. Joseph suspected that Hollander was profiting by fraudulent expenses claims, dismissed Hollander and broke into his workroom to discover the details of the process. Papers relating to Hollander's employment and his subsequent, successful suit for breach of contract can be found at HIR/2/12. a b "History". nestle.co.uk.

Also pictured today is the old Rowntree Halt station, which would have been familiar to generations of Rowntree workers. Rowntree Halt was a minor unmanned railway stop on the Foss Islands branch line in York. Located on the southern edge of the Rowntree's chocolate factory, the station was opened in 1927 by the London and North Eastern Railway to provide a low-volume, not publicly advertised passenger service to the Rowntree factory for workers commuting from areas south of York such as Selby and Doncaster. The Fire Brigade competed in several competitions, which involved physical exercises and fire drill competitions. Each year there was a national competition at Crystal palace in London, as well as local Yorkshire competitions at venues like Harrogate and Scarborough. Between 1904 and 1907, the Rowntree Brigade won 26 prizes
