Do any of you remember the name of the Dairy in Old Bromford Lane/ Bromford Road ? Just before the Fox and Goose Pub (opposite side). It was there in the late 50's and 60's that I know of. Would be happy if anyone remember the company name it was under.

Thanks Brummie babbby, my search is definitely Wilshire.
