| Description |
What a gorgeous piece of social history - a 100+-year-old image of a milkman on his horse-drawn cart. The cart has his name, the dairy, and the location, so I'm confident we'll be able to find out a lot more of the story behind this. I estimate the image to be c. 1905-10. It's a real photo postcard. See reverse side and further details below. Much to my surprise from a quick look on Ancestry and Historical Directories I've not been able to find anything about either Alfred or the Victoria Dairy. There are lots of Alfred Dennys, but none with obvious ties to the Kew Gardens area. There was a Victoria Dairy Co at 65 Willesden Lane, Kilburn, but that seems too far away. And the manager is listed as Mrs Geo. Bird. |
