Know my mum (although a weaver), was taken off to deliver milk for Whitewell Dairies .. told stories to me of how the milk float slid down Dill Hall Lane in the snow and ice.
Anybody have any other memories of their mums/grandmothers doing this special work during the wars ?

You will have to join one of the world war forums for the real answers, I do know that there were many women employed at Lang Bridges, mostly on shell production.
I remember one in the fitting shop she drove the overhead cage. She was the spitting image of Maureen O'Hara.
