I used to work at the Brightside and Carbrook Dairy in Broughton Lane, just as they re-located to a better site. I've forgotten where they moved to...can anyone recall and is there anyone out there that worked for the B&C Dairy around that time? The only two names that I can recall are the lady on the switchboard, who was called Barbara Tagg (I think) and someone in the laboratory called Josephine.

I have a mate who was a milk and was based near Moonhine but may have been Express Dairies

Was Bellhouse Road a B&C Dairy location?

I remember the dairy in Broughton Lane in the 40's as a kid. It had a big window in the front where you could watch the milk bottlles being filled by a machine. If it didn't quite fill one we used to point to it and yell cuckoo and the operator used to laugh an take it from the conveyor belt. Why we called these partly unfilled bottles cuckoos I don't know.

Moved to Bellhouse Road in 1978 after brand new bottling plant installed. I was working as a delivery milkman at the small depot there, which now became the main depot. Manager was Mr Price. Foreman on the landing was Albert Keyworth who had a brand new VW caravanette. Cashing in lady was Jess.

I worked in the Dairy Lab, after leaving school in 1964, for about two years! I have great memories of chatting to the switchboard operator (Norma?? - old age kicking in!!) in my lunch hour and having a go at taking & making calls. Other fond memories are of Jersey cream straight off the separator in my coffee and visiting the shire horses in the stables. There is a not-so-fond memory of seeing a rat drinking waste milk from the end of the hosepipe used for filling farmers' tanks for animal feed. Yuk.

My Dad worked for a number of years for the B&C dairy but more often than not driving the bigger lorries taking milk to schools. We still have his certificates from the 50's for safe driving and a token for a pint of milk. Is it still valid?
My Dads name was Alan Hamilton and they lived at the bottom of Prince of Wales Road.

I worked at Broughton Lane for around 6 months in 1966, I worked on the bulk deliveries covering day off and holidays I remember a couple of others one called Longley and Charley Phillips + Denis & Ron Green I left to work on the buses
