They were then joined by Joseph Terry in the 19th Century, who had experience working with sugared pastilles and pills, taking the firm in a new direction. Perhaps the most famous of Terry's products is the Chocolate Orange, first created in 1932 at the firm's factory in York.

These include opium-based throat sweets, theatre chocolates with 'rustle-free paper' and other 'tasty' treats that included ingredients such as mercury, leading to the firm producing cards warning their products were 'poison'. Mondelez describes itself as a "global snacking powerhouse", operating in 165 countries and owning other international brands such asOreo cookies andTrident chewing gum.Although the portfolio being earmarked for sale consists principally of brands in France, it also includes assets in Spain and the Netherlands, according to people familiar with the process.

As well as collecting wonderful objects I have also had the opportunity to talk to so many people who worked at Terry's. Sky News has learnt that Mondelez International has hired bankers to explore a sale of number of confectionery products, including Terry's Chocolate Orange and Terry's All Gold. Bizarre sweets from the past 250 years will go on show alongside some modern favourites to mark the anniversary of one of Britain's biggest confectioners. The company name changed after scientist and chemist Joseph Terry became involved in 1823, taking over from Mr Bayldon when he retired after marrying the niece of Mr Berry. Sales of the brand are understood to be minuscule in the context of Mondelez'sbroader confectionery portfolio, which includes Cadbury, Milka and Toblerone.

It has gone on to produce iconic treats such as the Chocolate Orange, Neapolitan, Spartan and Waifa. UK production of the Terry's brand ended in 2005, when it shifted abroad following the closure of a factory in York. The exhibiton features a look back at the history of the confectionery, including its many different versions such as white chocolate, mint flavour and the Chocolate Orange bar, pictured. Another of Terry's famous brands to last the test of time is the All Gold boxes, it's best-selling assorted chocolates.

Some products contained mercury and thus could be dangerous if consumed, meaning Terry's had to flag up to consumers just exactly what they were putting in their mouths. The history of UK chocolate brand Terry's will be unveiled at a new exhibition in Yorkshire until the end of the year.Although the Chocolate Orange, pictured bottom, is the company's most famous brand, it was actually preceded by Terry's Dessert Chocolate Apple, pictured top, which was released in 1926, six years before Chocolate Oranges hit the shelves. In the 1800s packaging was a lot more practical and less flashy as the sweets were advertised for their primary use as 'throat protectors' in 'damp, foggy or cold weather'. Using the skills he learnt as a chemist, Joseph Terry developed new lines of chocolate, confectionery, sugared sweets, candied peel, marmalade, and medicated lozenges, such as this pack of linseed, licorice and chlorodyne lozenges, pictured. Terry's was founded in York in 1767 by William Bayldon and Robert Berry and was initially named Bayldon and Berry Confectionery.

Pictured is the packing room at the Chocolate Works in the 1930s, where dozens of women were employed to load the confectionery into their specially designed boxes and wrappers.

By the 20th Century mass production was in full flow at Terry's, with conveyor belts such as this one pictured able to send hundreds of sweets down the line to be packed away constantly. The majority of workers in the factory were women, pictured here in the Chocolate Works canteen sometime in the early 20th Century. takeover of Cadbury, a deal which sparked a political outcry and changes to the code governing mergers and acquisitions in the UK. The firm is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year and York's Chocolate Story museum is giving the public a chance to look back at some old favourites and some of its more bizarre products.
