Birmingham Dairies and Audlem, Cheshire

[spelliott51]

In the mid 1890's I believe that Birmingham Dairies built a creamery in Audlem, Cheshire next to what was Audlem Station. The buildings still exist as houses (there were 4 houses and the Creamery unit). Apparently during WW2 the creamery unit was converted to clothing production before being converted to a dwelling in the 60's. This photo was taken in 1967.
I am trying to find out more about this but of course Birmingham Dairies closed down quite a few years ago. Are there any records that I could access to find out more??

This is all I could find I'm afraid.

This is brilliant!! It definitely confirms what we suspected, so many thanks for that.

Thanks John. That confirms when I thought it was built. an 1891 map doesn't have the buildings, so that narrowed it down! Regards, Steve

It's amazing to think that 120 years ago they were bringing milk all that distance but then again there weren't may farms in Birmingham!!
