Milk Boy
I was a milk boy for Bourne and Hilliers in the 1970s. I would oftern go to the Red Lion after my rounds on pay day for a pint or two and throw some darts - Tom was the landlord of the Red Lion at that time. Where the police warden stands in this picture now sits a round about. The pub and dairy are now long gone.

RE: RE: Milk Boy
My father Don Brown worked at Bourne and Hilliers for 14 years up to 1973, that's when they sacked him for being late. He never started until 7 o'clock as all the other milkmen were finishing. His round was Upnor and Wanscott, all his customers were used to him, that's until they changed his round around. I have 6 sisters and 4 brothers and nearly all of us used to help him on his round at some time. I remember dragging crates of milk with a rope in the snow at Upper Upnor as the electric milkfloat would not go up the High Street and as we came back over Rochester Bridge the wind used to blow like mad across the river. Plenty more later. MCB
