This is how I remember the milk being delivered when I was a young lad. The milk came from Aldersons at Walden. Most of the milk churns on this cart would be going to the dairy to make cheese.

This is a photo of William Anthony Lawsons Shop (1935 done up like a dogs' dinner for the Kings' Jubilee), who ran a general store and sub-post office in West Burton. The sub-post office is where you went to obtain a game licence if you were going grouse shooting on the glorious 12th.
A large variety of items could be purchased at the store including most things a farmer or gamekeeper may have needed.
Williams' brother James ran a local grocery shop further down the village.
To the left of Williams' shop there is a sign above the door on the next building which reads teas and refreshments.
