Nestlé UK Archives
Nestlé UK has built up a large and unusual business archive. We have everything from a 1920s advertising robot, to black and white film footage of Spike Milligan singing limericks.
It’s a fascinating collection, but it all has to be kept somewhere. The main collection is held in our purpose-built archive at our York factory, where works of art and 100 year old chocolates are preserved in climate and humidity controlled conditions.
