I remember my Mum sending me to the dairy in Harvey Street for the odd bottle of Steri when we'd run out in the early 80's. You'd just go inside the turquiose concertina door on Harvey Street next to The Little Rock pubs backyard and on the left would be a little office on a long loading bay running the length of the dairy. You would always be greated by some surly worker who couldn't be bothered and would make you wait with the smell of sour milk turning your stomach while he went to find you a bottle of milk.
As a kid I could never understand why they continued to have the words "Hansons Diaries" above the office doorway on Warrington Road after Unigate and later Waterfords bought them out.
