Description:The tea room was situated at the rear of Bostons filling station at Milford.

Up to 18 women were employed in the summer to serve lunches at half a crown a head to visitors to Cannock Chase. In 1972 the business changed to a Chrysler dealership which later became Talbot. In 1975 Derek Boston took over from his father and in 1982 the business became a Fiat dealership, and continued as Bostons of Milford until 2010 when it closed.
