For more than two centuries, Colman's Factory stood as a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship and excellence.
The story of Colman's Mustard began in 1814 when Jeremiah Colman established a small mill in Stoke Holy Cross, just outside of the city.

Jeremiah's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to producing superior-quality mustard soon spurred much demand, prompting the growing company to relocate to larger premises in Norwich in 1854, where it remained for 166 years until it closed in 2020.
Here are a handful of pictures that show life in the factory through the decades.
