Railway lines heading towards Lloyd Maunder feed mill in Uffculme

The Culm Valley Railway lines heading towards the feed mill at Uffculme. We have contacted Lloyd Maunder to see if they can offer us any help on establishing some more information about this photo. They seemed very helpful when we called them and we await their reply.

We know the family business began in 1898, although Lloyd’s father, FJP Maunder, was in the meat trade around 1879, in Witheridge, Devon.

Some more about their history can be found on the Lloyd Maunder website.
