    Nice to see a rake of milk tanks. I believe they were glass inside?
    It would be interesting to know who the whole milk delivery system worked and how it works today? I presume it used to be collected in churns from small farms, then into the tankers at a collection point. Taken to London and then back into churns or bottled.

    Phil,
    if I remember correctly it was, as you say, collected in churns from South Devon farms but then delivery was made to the large creamery (Daws later Unigate) at Totnes in a road tankers. After which it was loaded at the rail siding in six wheeled rail takers for onward transmission to London - I think the GWR place was at Kensington. There was another in North Devon, presumably SR. I expect this was replicated country wide. The rail siding is on the right.[​IMG]

    There were an interesting pair of articles in Backtrack last year(?) on the traffic.

    Many Thanks Greenway and 35B, it is good that these details are still available....and that the internet is not full of rubbish as is often supposed!
