It was obviously quite a common thing in Liverpool - my stepfather's family had a dairy complete with cows in Park Road, in the Dingle area of Liverpool 8, just behind where Woolworths was (don't know whether either the old dairy or Woolworths are still there!). It is amazing to think cows were kept so near to the city centre. Presumably they also kept at least one horse, which would have been used to deliver the milk (which was how we all got our milk when I was young).

Don't things change quicky -that was only a couple of generations ago!

Woolworths in Park Road disappeared long before the recent total shut-down of all its branches.  Can't say about the dairy, as I only pass on the bus!
There was an article in the latest 'Liverpool Family Historian' about Liverpool cowkeepers who came from Westmorland, and many names were mentioned.

My grandfather had a dairy at 3 Argos Rd., Kirkdale in 1905, he and his family had moved from Llandwrog, Caernarvonshire.  Later he had a dairy and general shop at 47 Linacre Lane Bootle, where he, my parents, and I  lived for a year before it was lost in the May Blitz 1941.

And the milk from the dairy was delivered to the local houses by a horse and cart .
