Milk Transport
£11.40
The Milk Marketing Board (MMB) was formed in 1933 and sold the milk to the dairies on behalf of the farmers. In the early years, the milk industry also saw some big names including Co-Op, Express, Unigate and United Dairies, who all had their own transport. In 1993 the government ordered the abolishment of the MMB to allow free competition in the milk industry. This gave the dairies a chance to have their own transport to move bulk milk. At the same time the company Milk Marque was formed, which had the job of moving all the milk which wasn’t supplied directly to the dairy companies.
Using 180 rare and previously unpublished images, Nigel Scaife tells the story of transport and milk.

Very interesting, great pictures.
by Amazon Customer
A well researched book with lovely photos of milk tankers and vehicles used over the years. Recommended to anyone with an interest in the dairy industry and trucks.

Such pictorial books can often be hit or miss, but this one is a definite hit. Compiled by a chap who has worked in the milk business, it comprises lots of original photos with detailed captions. A lot to be learnt here about origins, take overs, types of transport, milk marketing boards etc. The photos are in the main high quality with good colour rendition. Ideal for model makers and collectors. Another volume on milk floats, churns, crates and dairies large and small would be very welcome!
