====Cadbury's works bridges==== [[File:Hillsborough - Cadbury factory bridge (west).JPG|thumb|top|right|Cadbury's works bridge (west)]] There are two private bridges that connect the [[Cadbury UK|Cadbury's]] works on either side of the Don. There is a public footpath along the northern bank of the Don which goes under the two bridges. The footpath will eventually form part of the [[Upper Don Walk]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://upperdonwalk.org/default.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728144723/http://upperdonwalk.org/default.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 July 2011|title=Upper Don Walk|publisher=Upper Don Walk Trust website|access-date=5 January 2011}}</ref> The Cadbury's, previously Bassett's, works is one of the major employers in the area. The George Bassett & Co. Ltd sweet factory is one of the longest serving of local firms, known for its manufacture of Liquorice Allsorts. The firm was established in Sheffield in 1842 but did not come to [[Owlerton]] until 1934 when Bassett's son-in-law, Samuel Meggit Johnson, built a large factory on Beulah Road on the south side of the Don. The factory was enlarged in the inter-war period as new products, such as Jelly Babies, Wine Gums and Liquorice Novelties, were added to the range. [[File:New Wardsend Bridge 2017.jpg|thumb|top|right|The new Wardsend bridge]] In 1989 Bassetts was purchased by the Cadbury Schweppes group and became part of its confectionery subsidiary Cadbury Trebor Bassett. In 2010, Cadbury's was taken over by Kraft.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessguideuk.co.uk/advice/2010/01/kraft-takeover-cadbury.html|title=Kraft takeover of Cadbury's|publisher=Business Guide UK website|access-date=5 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526014345/http://www.businessguideuk.co.uk/advice/2010/01/kraft-takeover-cadbury.html|archive-date=26 May 2011}}</ref>
