I think it was also in the eighties that Jackson's stopped delivering the milk by horse drawn wagon. I remember they used to trim the horse and cart up with flowers each May Day.
Jackson's milk horse was still going strong in the 90s.I remember us always getting stuck behind it in the car going up Dill Hall Lane on the way to school!
