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.

A Crouch End man says he was “absolutely amazed” to unearth an antique jug underneath his floorboards from the old Broadway creamery.
Nigel Moore, 50, made the discovery after opening a trapdoor and squeezing down into his cellar to find a collection including bottles, ceramics, tiles and shoes, which are believed to have been left there for at least a century.
The 50-year-old, who works as a driver for movie productions – both on screen and off – lives in Fairfield Road with his parents Pamela and Jack, who moved into the family home in 1968.
Harsh treatment: transport blocks were left in an A3 s suspension

Chock horror
I bought a new Audi A3 TFSI S Sport from a main dealer in September 2017. I was pleased with the performance, but disappointed with the harsh suspension. I put it down to the semi-sport springs and low-profile tyres. I booked the first service two years later with a second Audi dealer and told them about suspension noises. They quoted £334 for the service plus £100 for an inspection so I declined. The first MoT test this year showed that the transportation chocks had not been removed from the front suspension, resulting in damage to the bump stops and one of the shock absorber covers. Surely, driving for three years on solid suspension must have caused a considerable amount of extra wear on the whole car. What should I do? JB
