MILK—PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING
The number of Dairy farms in the Borough is now four. Two of these
are in Pinner, one in Harrow Weald, and one in Harrow.
There was no change in the number of dairies licensed for the pasteurising
of milk. This remained at 2, namely, Messrs. Braziers of Kenton
Lane and Messrs. Hall & Sons of Pinner Park Farm. Both operate plants
of the High Temperature Short Time (H.T.S.T.) type.
