Tommy Booth did indeed deliver milk as did old Mr Armstrong from Armstrong dairy in Lanehouse Road, Thornaby his horse used to bolt a regular sight in the early 1950s the old boy clinging to the harness try to stop it. Happy but dangerous days .

I remember the farm very well. It was a great time, helping Tommy with the haymaking. I also remember going around Thornaby with his horse and cart delivering milk straight from the churn. People came out with jugs, we had half pint measures which we used to give the correct amount of milk with. I don’t remember any milk bottles, but it was over sixty years ago.

I remember helping him delivering milk and only getting some rotten apples for it! Also the big concert bunker in his field.
