Can anyone recognise any of these hardworking dairyfarmers, and when was this was taken?
Picture 1: I believe this farm is on the corner of Church Road (leading to Ramsden Bellhouse) and London Road, Wickford.
Picture 2: The second picture below is of a Woolshots Dairy Farm delivery vehicle. Note that the writing on the lorry in picture 1 says the farm is in Wickford but the text on the lorry in picture 2 says it is in Ramsden Billericay.

“Proposals to establish local milk record societies were made in 1914, and in 1928 Woolshots came fifth in a county competition for best-kept milk records, Jackson’s cowman, G. Hazell, winning a special prize of £1 for the best kept records. New rules of hygiene had their effect in these cowmen’s clothing. In 1920 Essex had become the first county to hold a clean milk competition. The Milk Marketing Board arrived in 1933, but this photograph was probably of the early twenties”.
