Harpenden's Wonderful Milk Supply

Harpenden's Wonderful Milk Supply


A local film for local people, this charming promotional film for Harpenden Dairy Ltd would have been shown in cinemas in and around Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The running time may seem long by today's standards, but it's a typical example of the kind of advertising that was projected alongside newsreels and feature films to promote local businesses in the 30s.

Harpenden Dairies Ltd, formerly located at 15 Station Road, no longer exists. At the time of filming Station Road was the main artery of the town, accommodating the railway station and an array of shops. Bendish, where the cows are shown grazing contentedly, is a few miles from Harpenden and has been retained as part of an area of outstanding natural beauty.
