Can you help in my search for old milk bottles?
COULD anyone help me in my search for old milk bottles that were used for retailing milk between 1930-1970 and would have shown the retailers name and location.
My hobby since retiring from a career in distribution within the milk industry is to research all dairies in Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall and locate them one by one in the hope I can find an example of the bottles they used.
My collection of bottles will eventually be donated to The National Trust for them to permanently display in a suitable location within the 4 counties of interest.
My hope therefore is to prompt any reader in the area of circulation of your newspaper to contact me if they have any examples or information of these old bottles and/or any information to enable me to find these old dairies that existed during the last century.
My contact telephone number is 01404-42642.
Peter Hayward,
Address supplied.
