MILK
Production
The number of farms at which milk was produced in the Borough
remained at five. These were Pinner Park Farm, Pinner Wood Farm,
Oxhey Lane Farm, Harrow School farm and Bradleys, College Hill Road.
Processing
The number of pasteurising plants in the Borough remained at two.
They are located at Kenton Lane Farm, Kenton and Pinner Park Farm.
High temperature, short time plant is in use at both of these centres and
most of the milk dealt with by them is consumed locally. During the year
new plant was installed at the Kenton Lane Farm and other major
improvements were carried out.
