A scene outside the factory gates following the severe snow storm in 1963 which created absolute chaos, after several days tractors were at last able to move on the roads and all day long farmers came from miles around to bring their milk to the factory. The railway station is on the right and a railway milk tanker has been pulled across the road to be filled with milk and sent to London. A delivery of bread has also just arrived in the village.
