Kirby and West Dairies, Leicester
The cold store room (or fridge), where milk is stored in a chilled environment for the following day's delivery. To the left of the picture are the stainless-steel sliding doors to the loading bays, which will be opened up the following morning to allow the roundsmen to load their floats.
Interestingly, I was told that up until a couple of years ago, K&W would only deliver milk in good old glass bottles, especially as they processed their own milk at the time. However, milk is now bought in from a supplier, and the doorstep delivery of milk in plastic bottles is an excepted method of delivery to today’s customers.
