Beskrivning

Tracing the footsteps of British milkman over the past one hundred years, this book takes a nostalgic look at a great British tradition. Investigating the many changes that have taken place over the years, from the delivery of milk via a seventeen gallon churn to the gentle electric milk float, "The British Milkman" discusses how many obstacles, including two World Wars, were overcome, revealing many forgotten facts and including several never before published photographs of the milkman at work.
