One Liverpool milkman who said the business was "in him from day one" has been doing the rounds in the city for over 50 years.
Generations ago, the area now known as Merseyside was home to both the historic Liverpool cowkeepers and hundreds of dairy owners, who sold milk to a rapidly expanding city population. As time went on, the modern milkman, as many came to know them, became a familiar sight on our Liverpool streets, with most households having fresh milk delivered to their doorstep as part of their everyday life.
Refrigeration and pasteurization soon became common place, and other factors such as the rise of supermarkets and the Milk Marketing Board coming into existence changed the way milkmen operate. But whilst a lot in the business has changed, milkmen are still working hard on their rounds to satisfy loyal and new customers in the region.
