Brightside & Carbrook Dairy

[anita2012]

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 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.

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.

in 1944 keyworth was only a spare man int yard if you ran out of milk he would bring some out to you a small fordson lorry

Hi, Does anyone remember my dad Roger Staniforth at the B&C Dairy at Bellhouse Road? He worked in the transport department on the milk floats and lorries repairing them when they broke down from around 1970's - 1997.
