Diane Graham said that her 98-year-old father would love to remember more about the dairy.

He used to help out there until her grandfather’s death, when it had to be sold.

“My grandfather owned and ran Saunders Dairy in Manor Farm Road from the [early to mid 1930s] until his death in 1962.

“Does anyone have any information, photos or memories of this.

“He used to deliver milk to the local area and houses and would let people off their tab if they couldn't afford to pay, during those difficult years.”
