Description:Employees at what was known locally as ‘Wilts Dairy’. The dairy initially processed milk and later in the 1950s only made butter, including the Fern Leaf Butter brand. The dairy building was adjacent to the Ingestre and Weston Railway Station.
Ingestre and Weston Station was owned by the Stafford-Uttoxeter Railway Company. The Stafford-Uttoxeter line opened in December 1867, but nineteen years later the company folded and the line was then acquired by the Great Northern Company.
Passenger traffic was withdrawn in 1939, but the line was kept open for milk traffic. The high cost of maintenance proved too expensive and the line closed in 1951, having never shown a profit. It was broken up in 1959.
