Kiritaki Co-operative Dairy Company Limited. Factory, 1914-1918

The original Kiritaki cheese factory. This was built approximately 1914 by Mr Hugh Black. In 1918 Mr Black told the suppliers that he thought they should be running the factory themselves. The newly formed Kiritaki Co-operative Dairy Company took over the factory in 1918. The factory has a loading bay approximately half way down the long side. It has an extended roof to protect from the weather. There are windows along the sides and a door in the front corner. There are four suppliers driving loaded horse-drawn wagons. The flue of the engine room can just be seen above the roof. One of the drivers is wearing wet weather clothing and hat; the picture in the centre is not clear.
