A CREAMERY launched its centenary celebrations yesterday.
The Arla Foods creamery in Northallerton has put on a photographic display in Northallerton Town Hall. The event opened yesterday and runs until tomorrow.
More than 130 people are now employed at the Romanby Road site, producing cream and milk powder for the dairy market.
The creamery was originally financed by North Eastern Railway Company which was eager to promote fresh milk distribution by rail.
It built the dairy in September 1905, constructing it on a railway embankment on the edge of town.
The business was taken over by Express Dairies in 1998 and then by Arla Foods UK plc in 2003.
