Summary[edit]

Description
English: Abandoned Stilton dairy in Harby. Millway Foods dairy on Colston Lane.

Millway Foods Ltd was incorporated in 1987 and produced Stilton from this site in Harby. Dairy Crest acquired Millway Foods Ltd in March 1999 and Millway Dairy Crest Ltd became the operating company for Dairy Crest's consolidated Stilton and speciality cheese business. However, Dairy Crest moved all production from Harby to the Hartington Creamery in the Peak District, see 338239, and the Harby site was closed. The Dairy Crest speciality cheese making division, including the Hartington Creamery was bought by Long Clawson Dairy, see 64664, in 2008 so it could be said that Millway has been brought home. The future of the Hartington Creamery is unsure at the present date.

At the closure Dairy Crest took out an injunction forbidding any other company using the site for cheese production. It has lain empty ever since.
