Extra information:

Express Dairies used to be a brand of Dairy Crest, harking back to the time when milk was delivered to your doorstep by a friendly milkman. Founded by George Barham in 1864 as the 'Express County Milk Supply Company', the company initially delivered fresh milk to London by rail for swift delivery to customers. The company had two major creameries and bottling plants in London, with one located near South Acton railway station and the other at the company's headquarters in Cricklewood, both allowing for efficient access to milk trains from various railways.
