Fawdon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fawdon is a electoral ward of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is close to the A1 western bypass.
It is the site of a Nestle Rowntree factory on Rowan Drive, which opened in 1958, employs 600 workers and produces 40,000 tonnes of chocolate a year. It is Nestle's second largest factory after York. The site makes Blue Riband, Breakaway (since 1970), Caramac (since 1959), Fruit pastilles, Rolo, and Yorkie biscuits. The Munchies brand moved there in 2006, from York.
There is a Metro station. The local church is St Mary the Virgin.
