Description
The Liverpool Cowkeepers: A Story of Resilience and Adaptation. In the mid-19th century, many farmers and miners from the Yorkshire Dales made the decision to leave their homes in search of new opportunities. Instead of emigrating abroad, they chose to settle in Liverpool, where they established a thriving business as cowkeepers. These entrepreneurs kept cows in their backyards and sold milk to the rapidly expanding city population, providing fresh food to those who needed it most. Over time, the Liverpool Cowkeepers adapted to changing circumstances, evolving from farmers to city cowkeepers and eventually becoming suburban milkmen. Their success was built on hard work, good business sense, and a willingness to adapt. The Joy family, who were among the last of these cowkeeping families, drew on their own history to tell the story of this remarkable group. This book tells the story of the Liverpool Cowkeepers, a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who built a new life in the city.
