Description
This old farmer is called Reg Warren - I captured this about 50 years ago when in this village of Thorncombe in Dorset, UK, milk delivery to the homes was by hand as shown. The contraption over his shoulders is called a yoke from which hung chains to carry the milk pails. The milking would have been done by hand.
Sorry for the quality of the picture but I thought you might like to share this bit of rural history. Jeff.

well done
beau souvenirs!!
FABULOUS memories! I still have my milk delivered in glass bottles..even that is thought odd by some younsters.
Great picture Jeff, love the shoulder pads.
wonderful, thanks for sharing this historical picture with us
fantastic image!
Stellar capture!
Great capture! Even if it's almost as old as me. ;D Back then we had Milk-men, but they had trucks and milk and cream in glass bottles they would put in your Milk-box outside the door.
In the early '40s, my mother took the milk with the bike, with cylinders attached to the back, above the wheel ! Great capture !
Was this your proper job or was it the paper round??? Great image for such a old picture. What camara did you use?
We use to have a milk man that deliverd our milk.. great memories. Nice photo.
Great capture..
Oh Jeff, this is wonderful to look at, and for remembering, what was at that time. Here in Holland this was also done like that. But I guess much longer ago than 50 years. And they used an other kind of baskets, more open. Love this picture!
