A late 19th /early 20th century galvanised steel 17 gallon milk churn lid, with engraved brass plaques. One plaque is engraved with J.C.Foster SWR Hook – this is probably the name of the farmer from Hook in Hampshire who sent his milk to London via South West Railway. The other plaque is engraved CB&D Ltd Vauxhall and this was probably a London dairy company who received their milk at Vauxhall station. The brass plaques enabled the churns to be sent and returned to the correct company’s. There is also a small brass plaque engraved with the numbers 2380.
