Place & story

Platform, canopy and sliding doors

Timoleague’s former creamery on Mill Street is dated to about 1920 by the architectural inventory. A long concrete loading platform fronts its low main block, sheltered by a timber-framed canopy. Wide sliding doors run on iron rails, while a taller block stands at one side. The 2009 survey also recorded an associated two-storey building to the west, with carved bargeboards and sash windows. The open space before the creamery provided room for carts approaching from the road. [2]
