(QECC Barnfield, Saxon Close and so on) In the very early 20th century shoe-making, tanning, farming trade, tin-plating as well as the manufacture of confectionery and cider had superseded the former huge woollen and also serge markets. The creamery as well as dairy in Crediton has actually constantly lain next to the church, yet to enable its product to be distributed further, the company ran a transport depot that lay in the goods backyard of the train terminal. Each day, a train of 3 or more Milk Container Wagons would certainly be filled up from lorries, and then required to London by either the Great Western Railway or the Southern Railway. Express Dairies marketed the creamery as well as a similar device in Kirkcudbright, Scotland in July 2002 to Milk Web link, which both by that time created UHT milk.
