Milk Traffic

In the early photos of Hallatrow there are always lots of milk churns and in 'Through Countryside & Coalfield' it quotes figures for milk traffic over the branch in 1925. For Hallatrow it quotes over 7000 churns. The milk was sent either to London (via Frome) or to Cardiff (via Bristol). All this traffic had gone by the mid-1930 as Express Dairies took over collection direct from the farms by road.
