Nicholas Walker dairy cart, c1900. Given that a photo was being taken was probably a special event, I'm assuming that this is Walker himself, perhaps with his son, Menoah, or perhpas a milk carrier boy - see newspaper article below. (Can anyone identify the road?)
Hornsey dairyman and cowkeeper Nicholas Walker was born in Necton, Norfolk in 1860. The youngest of six children, his father was the village glover. in the mid 1870s he moved to Finsbury Park where his older brother Menoah was running a dairy at 88 Mountgrove Road, on the corner of Finsbury Park Road.
