Re: Spire farm development
Ataylo, we moved to Cobham Road in the summer of 1946, and it is from then that I remember Jim delivering our milk with his horse and cart for several years. Does that fit in with when your father was doing it? I don't remember him delivering it on Barnfield St. where we were previously, although he might have.
I would like to see the photo. |

JoanR my father moved to West Farm in 1946. I was born in 1949. I think we moved to bottled milk and aquired a van in the mid 50's. So it should fit in with your time frame. The photo was taken around 1951/2 because I'm in it but very young. It also shows 2 other children on the cart getting a ride as you described and I think it was taken in the street that ran parallel to Abbey st between Sandy Lane and Plantation St. Might have been Chapel St.

Re: Spire farm development
It's a lovely photo of the time, and thanks for posting it, Ataylo. The milk cart is as I remember, with the large wheels and the curved rail at the side. Your father always wore that flat cap as well. I remember the switch to bottled milk, but couldn't say when it started.

well you know the idea, no better than anyone else? Or should we be forgiving just because he had a business and for some reason this puts him, for some reason, above the ordinary pleb? :confused: |
Re: Spire farm development
Some of his posts did seem wild and irrational - obvious signs of a man under stress.
As for being a 'business man', I suppose the more you have to lose, the greater you feel the loss. I do not condone domestic violence (heaven forbid, I have had some !). There are too many psychopaths in our society, and they are the ones who tend to acquire wealth by trampling others down on their way up. |
Re: Spire farm development
I hate to say it but i told you so , the man was and probably still is a nutter!!!!! You only had to look at what he did to the spire and its land to get the idea of his character.

Apparently loads of police activity at the spire today was due to the police finding a cannabis farm in the bungalow attached to the main building:eek::eek:
