Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I am trying to find some photographs and/or information re the dairy manager's house in Shurnhold, I believe it was a Co-Op dairy and that the house was not only the manager's accommodation but also partly a shop. Above the main entrance (front door) is the date 1886, although I believe that the original part of the building is older. Any information or photos at all would be gratefully received, thanks in advance.
