Didcot Dairy Story

Curated by Dr Leah Hewerdine and Ruby Livesey

Job's Dairy was once the largest privately owned dairy in the UK with many farms, processing plants, depots and stores located in the south of England. The Didcot bottling plant played an important part in the dairy industry, and local community, from 1935 to 1987 and was located West of the old railway line. To acknowledge and celebrate our town’s agricultural roots we are running an exhibition that tells the story of the Didcot Dairy through a cow-fully curated display of objects, photographs, video footage, and community memories.

Join us as we take you on a trip down memory lane to fresh milk and eggs on your doorstep, social events for all the family, and the crowning of Miss Job’s! The exhibition is part of the Didcot Dairy Story project, run by volunteers, which is raising funds in support of Sobell House Hospice and other important local causes.

If you have a Didcot Dairy Story to share, or would like to support the project, don’t bottle it up! Please do get in touch with the team via email at: didcotdairystory@gmail.com
