It kept without being chilled and was nothing like real milk.lorenzo23https://www.blogger.com/profile/03703276296616620943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726680741453160783.post-37423058399562033862012-03-10T08:30:26.942+00:002012-03-10T08:30:26.942+00:00Yes it is amazing to think what the fridge has don...Yes it is amazing to think what the fridge has done to our lifestyles. On Beech Road in 1911 of the 23 shops, 13 were engaged in selling food. And there were more around the green and lots more just the short walk up to and along Barlow Moor Road. <br />Now in an age before refrigerators this shouldn’t surprise us.

Look at any old photograph of Chorlton and somewhere on the road there will be one or more delivery vans, pulled by horses.Andrew Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215799385557042486noreply@blogger.com
