An early lorry being dug out of a snowdrift, snow caused problems in the very early days.

The entrance to the factory when it was the Culm Valley Dairy Co. There were two houses on the left, both of which were subsequently demolished to make way for the office block and the yard beyond. The railway lines on the right ran into the factory.

The dried milk powder was dispatched in these barrels made of plywood and known as Venestas (from the name of the firm that made them).

The first plant for sterilising milk churns before their re-use. These 10 gallon churns were emptied and upended on the receiving tank, they were then placed inside the steam steriliser where they revolved in a clockwise direction. The man on the right is removing the clean churn ready for re-use. The churn lids went through the same process.
