Copy of an early black and white photograph of the first factory owned by the Cape Egmont Co-operative Dairy Company. It was bought from the Crown Dairy Company in 1897.

The factory has trees behind it, a pile of wood on the left hand side, and a very early motor car parked in front. The building appears to be in two parts - the left hand part being the boiler room with smoke stack coming from the roof - the right hand part appears to be the factory. Between the two parts is a loading bay and above it a water tank. The building appears to be painted in two colours. The window frames and the spouting being a different colour from the main building.

This photograph was originally produced for the Taranaki Herald.
