Hi, all.
My first time on the site, I don't usually go on media sites I leave all that stuff to her indoors.
As regards the Liverpool Cowkeepers, when at school in the late 1950's early 60's I used to have a morning / weekend job at the dairy in Walton Breck Road (just down the raod from Liverpool FC ground Anfield.), It was run by an old Irish guy by the name of Carrol and his brother. They had about 6 Cows at any one time. I used to help deliver the milk in the mornings and help muck out at the weekends. I used to start the day with a warm (Fresh -straight from the cow) pint of Guernsey milk, abouit half of which was full cream.
Most of the milk we used to deliver was bought in and dropped off the night before from one of the large processing dairies like Express and the fresh in house milked stuff was kept for sale over the counter. The odd few bottles being delivered. We delivered the milk on an old flat bed trailer pulled by a horse, when delivering the horse used to stop and start by voice commands without any one on board at the reins.
I have not been past the place in years but it is still there albeit in a changed form. The old shop dorway directly on the corner is a window and the old shipham is now rebuilt into a private house, The main house looks like it is divided up into 3 smaller houses. obviously much smaller 'that's progress' for you.
