Smiths Place

Smiths Place: The older residents of the village will always remember Freda and her brother Henry who ran the Primrose Dairy from 1929 until 1971 at 71 Main Road. Freda delivered in the village by horse and float, complete with the large brass churn, seffing milk with a half pint and pint ladle into your own jug. The poor old horse died in harness, so we are told, around 1947 in Dobbs Lane. Henry’s round in the early days was by motorcycle and sidecar and took him to the Rushmere end of the village.
