Dairy Cottage and The Dairy Witley
« on: Thursday 11 February 16 12:58 GMT (UK) »
Good Morning
Has anyone any idea where to find any information on the Dairy/Dairy Cottage in Witley during the 30's.
Ideally would love a photo but it would be nice to know if it was still a Dairy or had been turned into a private house.
Was Witley really rural back then?
I'm not from the area and just wondered what the village was like.

Thank you for your time

Good Morning
Thank you for that.
It looks to be a lot older and more magnificent than I expected.It does beg the question how a unskilled person from London would find the place and get a job in the local area.It looks very rural and they had no experience in farming or agriculture.
