Title: Bloxsomes's lorry, Alpha Street, Slough. About 1905 [Go to resource]
Description: The van appears to have an open driving cab and, when required, a pram type roof could be folded down to provide protection from the weather. The caption on the photograph refers to 'period of Oast Houses'. The Ordnance Sheet for 1876 shows two buildings in Alpha Street labelled 'Malthouses'. The definition of a Malthouse is of a place where barley or other grains are prepared for brewing or distilling by steeping, germinating and kiln drying.
