Check out this rare footage courtesy of Clipstone Films. Its taken around St. John’s Wood in the late 1940s when post-war building was in full flow.
Does anyone know where the dairy was located?

These photos bring so many poignant memories back. I do believe that the dairy was behind St. John’s Wood Station just off Acacia Road. I remember them delivering milk with the floats pulled by horses. The dairy was once featured on a film starring Norman Wisdom and Gerry Desmond who lived in the flat underneath us.

Pretty sure dairy was off Acacia Rd backing onto the barracks. I think there’s some smart houses there now but I remember horse drawn milk floats coming out of the yard when I was a kid ———- circa 1953/4
I helped a milkman out of the dairy for a while in ’65 or ’67 and vaguely remember it being Acacia Road.
