Brightside & Carbrook Dairy

[mickward1958]

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.

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.
