Why Britain’s Milkman Stopped Coming — And What We Lost Along the Way

The British milkman in the 1950s and 1960s: doorstep milk delivery, horse-drawn rounds and electric milk floats, and why they vanished. Before most homes had a refrigerator, fresh milk arrived at the door every morning. This documentary follows the milkman's early round, the glass bottles and the weekly bill, and explains how supermarkets and changing habits brought the daily delivery to an end.
