Video: St. John’s Wood, c.1940s

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?

    In was at the back of St John’s Wood UG station. It was on Acacia Road and it’s entrance faced Kingsmill Terrace. The site is now housing and it’s called Acacia Gardens 🙂

    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.
      Is this information not available on old maps or from the local planning department?
