Lloyd Maunder Animal Feed

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.

From the Bridge at Uffculme

Picture of Bridge Street and Denner Way, Uffculme, Devon.

View from the bridge, looking north-west with Denners Way on the right

Little has changed in this view of Bridge Street, Uffculme. Probably taken in the early 70s, as the railway lines have been removed, although the level crossing gates are still shown.

The Esso garage appears to have the name of the proprietor shown as Featherstone. Perhaps you can recall the Featherstone’s or are part of the family?
