They revamped the company, launching new products, and bought a site off Bishopthorpe Road, York on which to develop a new factory.

Built in an Art Deco style, the factory known as Terry's Chocolate Works[2][3] included a distinct clock tower.

[2] With the onset of the Second World War, part of the factory was taken over by F. Hills and Sons of Manchester, with some of Terry's staff helping with the manufacture and repair of aircraft propeller blades.

[7] In February 2010, with the Grade II listed Time Office and Art Deco clock tower secured and scheduled for refurbishment and despite objections from the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment,[8] the firm was given planning permission for a £165 million mixed-use of residential, commercial and leisure.

[9] Redevelopment started in 2011, with removal of asbestos by trained and certified contractors, followed by demolition of non-scheduled buildings in early 2012.
