Every now and then I stumble across a building that takes my eye and for years I have always
marvelled at the buildings known as the old creamery in Ffairfach now the current location of
Mosley Garage
This week I had the opportunity to take a look around and grab some snaps of this charming old building but more so capture a glimpse at the living history that surrounds it.

The group of five men founded the creamery on Heol Cennen, Fairfach, between 1914 /1920. however things didn't work out and after around 10 years the buildings and business was purchased by Co-operative Wholesale Society. From 1935 there was a railway siding from the adjacent Heart of Wales rail line.
The creamery closed in 1959, shortly after the opening of a larger creamery in Llangadog,
It was used for a time for processing wool it was at this point all the vats and metal was scrapped from inside the buildings
The current owner has owned it for the last 40 years.

Are you sure the creamery closed in 1959?
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember it still being open in 1962 when the manager was a Mr Kemp.
