EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the early morning scene at the Express Dairy yard in the year 1902. The sun is barely rising, casting a soft glow over the courtyard as the milkmen prepare for their daily rounds. Horses and horse-drawn carts are the primary mode of transportation for the dairy, with each cart carefully loaded with fresh, churned milk. The milkmen, dressed in their traditional uniforms, sit atop their horses, ready to embark on their journeys to deliver the precious liquid to households across the city. The Express Dairy Company, Limited, was a prominent player in the dairy industry during the early 20th century. This image offers a glimpse into the company's operations during that era, providing a fascinating look at the working conditions and methods of milk transportation in the 1900s. The horse-drawn carts, with their sturdy construction and intricate designs, are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time. The serene atmosphere of the courtyard, with its cobblestone ground and the horses standing quietly, adds to the charm of the scene. The milkmen, with their determined expressions and focused demeanor, convey the importance and dedication required to ensure the timely delivery of fresh milk. This photograph is not only a visual representation of the dairy industry during the early 1900s but also a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped the way we consume milk and dairy products today.
