Wright and his father before him. .........Thirty years ago the delightful old cottage and farmyard disappeared to make room for the school, and then the business was removed to 46, Church Street, where it has grown at a rapid rate until it has become one of the most substantial and progressive of its kind in the metropolis.”   So we read about the dairy on a coloured drawing entitled:
