From the iconic adverts of Horlicks Malted to the charming posters featuring "The Vegetabull, " milk has left an indelible mark on our culture.

The clinking bottles delivered fresh each morning brought joy to countless households. Let your taste buds reminisce as you encounter vintage adverts for Horlicks, the original malted milk drink from 1925. Indulge in nostalgia with Frys Chocolate's enticing campaign that paired perfectly with a glass of cold milk. Marvel at Chichester Dairies' fleet of lorries traversing city streets, ensuring every doorstep received their daily dose of creamy goodness.

And let us not forget Horlicks malted milk's enduring popularity since its advertisement debut back in 1916. Venturing beyond advertisements and films, step inside tramshed interiors like Lytham St Annes' in Lancashire - bustling hubs where trams transported gallons upon gallons of this life-sustaining liquid throughout cities.
