Shannon Creamery

Shannon Creamery, which belongs to the New Zealand Farmers' Dairy Union, was established in 1894. The building has been conveniently planned, and is built of wood, affording ample floorage space for the work of separating the cream from the large quantities of new milk delivered daily by the farmers of the surrounding districts. There are two separators—Alpha de Laval—capable of turning out 400 gallons per hour, which are doing excellent work; they are worked by a steam-engine, built by Messrs. Luke and Sons, Limited, of Wellington, of four-horsepower nominal, which works up to six-horse-power.
