The creamery was built in 1930 by Cow & Gate (Dried Milk Products) as a milk processing factory, where local milk was condensed to be made into evaporated milk. In 1963 the site was converted to a cheese factory and plant, including a spray drier tower, was installed to dry whey and produce whey butter and powder. Currently the home of the Pembrokeshire Cheese Company, the creamery produces Red Leicester, Double Gloucester and various Cheddar cheeses.
Although the creamery is adjacent to the former South Wales (later Great Western) Railway main line, there is no map evidence that it was rail-served.
Burrows Guide to Liverpool suggests that the site was built by Kraft Foods in the 1950s to produce cheese as a raw material for their processed cheese plant at Kirby. (note from Barrie Trinder, September 1999)
There is a photograph of the building in a privately-owned album of photographs and documents in a scrapbook produced by P. F. Carter to provide a record of the development of the milk industry in West Wales 1928-1961. See People's Collection Wales www.peoplescollection.wales/items/491965.
