as it says... does anyone still remember....<br><br>charley and ginger..... they were the last horsedrawn milkman from the United Dairies stables and creamery at the stapleton lights.... Charley was the milkman and Ginger his horse<br><br>they were always friendly and we always had a laugh when charley went on holiday (one week a year)... the relief milky would get frustrated with ginger..... ginger knew the route and walked to each delivery and waited... no matter what, the relief could not get him to move unless the relief went to each delivery, in the right order.... if the people were away, the relief still had to carry his crate of bottles to the doorstep and back..... or argue with a rather large horse (I seem to remember it as a suffolk punch, that would be quite normal)<br><br>alas charley and ginger were replaced in the late 50s... the same period that evershot was tarmac'd over the cobbles.<br>
