This is written and published by Duncan Scott [2010] who describes it as an illustrated biographical essay, and writes of the links between farming families in Westmorland and north Yorkshire and cow-keepers and dairymen in Liverpool.
[There have been two articles in the 'Liverpool Family Historian' on this subject: 'Cow-keepers from the Dales' in Vol 31, June 2009, and 'Cow-keepers in Everton' in Vol 32, Sept. 2010.]
Much of the focus of the book is on the Capstick family and their Howgill links but other families in the same business are mentioned. There is also a chapter on a typical milk round in Lymm.
This is a pleasant reminder of the days before supermarket litres with some notalgic illustrations. Our family's milk was still being delivered on a horse-drawn waggon in the 1970s!
