Milkman Len Garland taken in Froddington Road Fratton in 1926.Len had a push along milk float. Evidently he went back to the dairy twice on his round to complete his deliveries. He was working for the Portsea Island Mutual Co-op which was very big in Portsmouth in more ways than just milk. There also seems to be half-pint bottles of milk as well. Len died in 1996 aged 94.
