Buttercup Poultry Farm Thank you to Bill Scott for allowing me to reproduce his sketch above. Bill describes this sketch as a recreation of a childhood memory. The sketch is of Andrew Ewing returning from work, by car, to Buttercup Poultry Farm in the 1950s. Andrew Ewing (1869-1956) was owner of the Buttercup Dairy Co chain of shops from 1904 onwards. |
Here is a photo of Andrew Ewing setting off, on foot, to work around 1940. Around 1940 |
