END OF AN ERA

For Penistone’s Milk Deliverers

In rural areas like Penistone, it’s not unusual to hear some nocturnal goings on as we sleep. The odd hoot from an owl can go relatively unnoticed but there has also been, for as long as most of us can remember, the murmurings of a milk delivery truck engine patrolling our streets in the early hours. In recent years, it may even have been joined by the twinkle of a video doorbell at 2 or 3 am.
