R.L. Jones & Co., Ltd. and Sunecta Glucose Drink [1]
Originally located near Sherwood Forest, Mansfield, England, was the home of the Mansfield Brewery, once the largest independent brewer in the United Kingdom. The city of Mansfield also had an old-established soft-drinks manufacturer, R.L. Jones, with brand names of “Sunecta” and “Mandora,” which were acquired by Mansfield Brewery in 1977. The soft-drink operations moved to a modern factory at Bellamy Road in 1975. Mansfield Brewery subsequently sold the business to Scottish drinks company A. G. Barr, Plc., producer of “Irn-Bru,” “Tizer” and “Mandora” in 1988.
