Cream Pots

       We have been keen Cream Pot collectors since the 1976, my dad taking most
      interest in them. With few exceptions the majority of Cream Pots produced in the
      late Victorian and Edwardian period were designed for only one trip. Having emptied
      the contents the Cream Pot would have been thrown in the rubbish bin, or dumped
      in the dump at the bottom of the garden. This was not always the case as many
      people lived in crammed tenements.
      Private dumps such as Victorian or Edwardian mansions usually yield good Cream Pots,
      my dad dug a mansion dump outside Dumfries and found some rare large Cream Pots.
     
                           Dunragit Creamery, Wigtownshire,

     The Dunragit Creamery, opened in 1882, merged with the Valleyfield Dairy Company in
     1891 to form the United Creameries Company. About 300 people were employed at
     the creamery and a special workers' train operated between Stranraer and Dunragit
     in the morning and evening. The creamery closed in 1989
