You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Abel Hoadley''' (10 September 1844 &ndash; 12 May 1918) was a English-born Australian businessman, confectioner, orchardist and manufacturer of jams and sauces, remembered today as establishing the company's that bear his name A. Hoadley and Company and the Hoadley Chocolate Company and inventing of the popular [[Australia]]n chocolate [[honeycomb toffee|honeycomb]] bar the [[Violet Crumble]].

==History==
[[File:Hoadley's Rising Sun.jpg|thumb|Hoadley's "Rising Sun" sauce bottle pre-1910<br/>The motto ''Ex umbra in lucem'' may mean "From darkness into light".]]
Hoadley was born in [[Willingdon and Jevington|Willingdon]], [[East Sussex]], England, the son of Peter Hoadley, blacksmith, and Elizabeth Ann Hoadley, née Wheeler. Hoadley arrived in [[Australia]] in 1865. His first business was manufacturing and selling [[jam]]s and [[Pickling|pickle]]s, with produce fresh from his own orchard in [[Burwood East]].<ref name=adb>((cite AuDB |first=John | last=Lack |title=Hoadley, Abel (1844–1918) |volume=9 |edition= |year=1983 |id2=hoadley-abel-6687 |access-date=10 April 2021))</ref> In 1889, Hoadley opened a jam factory in [[South Melbourne, Victoria]], trading as A. Hoadley & Company.
In 1892 he made a trial shipment of preserved fruit to England, with encouraging results.<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article138653655 |title=Export of Canned Fruits and Preserves |newspaper=[[The Australasian]] |volume=LIV |issue=1411 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=15 April 1893 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref>
By 1894 he was selling "Rising Sun" brand jams in ((convert|2|lb|kg)) tins; in 1895 the "Rising Sun" brand was applied to a range of jams, sauces and confectionery.<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108476256 |title=Advertising |newspaper=[[The Record (Melbourne)]] |issue=12624 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=20 July 1895 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref>
Business was good, and in 1895 a new five storey factory was opened at 222 Park Street, [[South Melbourne, Victoria|South Melbourne]], where the jams and preserves were manufactured and canned on the upper floors.<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article196659618 |title=Victorian Industries |newspaper=[[The Leader (Melbourne)|Leader]] |issue=2108 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=6 June 1896 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=8 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref>

In 1910 the business, apart from confectionery, was sold to [[Henry Jones Co-operative Limited]].<ref name=adb/>

===Confectionery===
Although Hoadley had much earlier advertised his company as "confectioners", this aspect of production was not prominently advertised, and may have only served to keep the business running between the various fruit seasons. They began advertising milk chocolate in 1909 and toffees in 1912.
In 1913 a new company, Hoadley's Chocolates Limited was formed with a capital of £75,000.<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article150677779 |title=Advertising |newspaper=[[Geelong Advertiser]] |issue=20,580 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 April 1913 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref>

Confectionery was from around 1913 manufactured at "Barrackville", on St Kilda Road, South Melbourne, at the Coventry Street corner. The factory was totally destroyed by fire in January 1919.<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article165177584 |title=Hoadley's Works Destroyed |newspaper=[[The Record (Melbourne)]] |volume=XXIV |issue=3 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=18 January 1919 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref> The company took out a lease on a nearby block of land bounded by Coventry, Hanna and Dorcas Streets and turned the old site into a public park.<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article165176320 |title=Factories on St. Kilda Road |newspaper=[[The Record (Melbourne)]] |volume=XXIV |issue=7 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=15 February 1919 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref>

The new factory was also given the name "Barrackville", and "Hoadley's Barrackville Cocoa and Chocolate" became a trade name,<ref>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article222576165 |title=The Sydney Royal Show Attracted many thousands of sectors: Victorian stock-breeders Score heavily in the Prize List |newspaper=[[Weekly Times]] |issue=2,695 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 April 1921 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=30 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref> perhaps echoing Cadbury's [[Bournville Cocoa]].
Hoadley's "Violet" chocolates first appeared as a brand name in 1917,<ref name=Classified>((cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1670873 |title=Classified Advertising |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=22,277 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=21 December 1917 |accessdate=24 December 2017 |page=14 |via=National Library of Australia))</ref> and their "Violet mixture" in 1921. This would appear to be their "premium" line, as they sold for nearly 50% more than their "Barrackville" mixture.<ref name=Classified/>

===The Violet Crumble Bar===
[[File:Violetcrumblepic.jpg|305px|thumb|right|Violet Crumble]]
((Main|Violet Crumble))
When he produced his first chocolate assortment, Hoadley packed it with a piece of [[honeycomb toffee|honeycomb]]. The honeycomb became so popular that Hoadley decided to produce an individual honeycomb bar. This was not an easy task; as the pieces of honeycomb cooled, they absorbed moisture and started sticking together. Eventually, this [[hygroscopic]] nature of honeycomb led Hoadley to dip the honeycomb bars in chocolate, keeping the honeycomb dry and crunchy. Thus, in 1913, the Violet Crumble bar was created.

Hoadley wanted to call his new bar just Crumble, but learned that it was an unprotectable name. He thought of his wife (Susannah Ann ''née'' Barrett) and her favourite flower, the [[Violet (plant)|violet]], and registered the name Violet Crumble, using a purple wrapper with a small flower logo. The confectionery bar was an instant success at the time and has remained popular into the twenty-first century.

The original orchard site in the [[Melbourne]] suburb of [[Burwood East]] was sold at less than market price to the Methodist Church Central Mission for the establishment of a Boys' Training Farm, which later became the [[Tally Ho, Victoria|Tally Ho]] Boys' Home.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.wesley.org.au/about/history.html |publisher=Wesley Mission Melbourne |title=About: History |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061124151229/http://www.wesley.org.au/about/history.html |archive-date=24 November 2006 ))</ref> The site now houses residential development, Crossway Baptist Church, the National Archives of [[Australia]] and the Tally Ho Business Park.

Hoadley and Susannah had fourteen children. He died at the age of 73 in his home, "Bella Vista", in the [[Melbourne]] suburb of [[Kew, Victoria]]. The Hoadley company was acquired by [[Rowntree's]] in 1970 and then by [[Nestlé]] in 1988.

==Hoadley's in popular culture==
* The [[Australia]]n company [[MYOB (Software Company)|MYOB Limited]] has its global headquarters in the Tally Ho Business Park, once part of the Hoadley estate. MYOB's corporate logo and corporate colour scheme is purple and gold, which is also famous as the colour scheme of the [[Violet Crumble]].
* Hoadley's name is remembered in the name of the successful Australian rock band competition, [[Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds]], which ran from 1966 to 1972 and was sponsored by the company. The competition was used to heavily promote the [[Violet Crumble]] bar.
