Food from the Farm

A Rich History
The original ‘Milk Factory’ was erected by brothers, G&C Prideaux, in 1912. Local farmers would deliver churns of milk to be made into cheese at the factory, which would be transported to the newly accessible London market via the railway line. The height of ‘La Belle Epoque’, it was an era of industrial invention, intellectual and artistic creativity and global wanderlust. Travelling the world was a thrilling new possibility and the reimagined building has multiple references to this ‘Golden Age of Travel’. The restored Creamery keeps the year 1912 firmly in mind, with a new brick extension matching the detailing of the original factory. The design celebrates a rich history of handling milk products, with modern cheesemaking returned to the heart of the building.
