Balch's Dairies was started by my great grandfather and taken over by my grandfather in Prospect Place.

The Dairy Shop was at 8 Bath Road, which was on the corner of Bath Road/Prospect Place. My father used to deliver milk with a horse and cart and in Victoria Road, Old Town, my grandfather ran Balch's Milk Bar.

The Dairy was closed in the early '60s but the main building still stands today.

Before the Balch family occupied No 8 Bath Road it was the family home of BROWN
