THE RODDA FAMILY

“Hardly anybody had any Cornish cream, it wasn’t available in London. I remember coming home from school and my father said: ‘Crowsens have sent a cheque for £1,000 – send them all the cream you can!’ We only had, say, 20 cows, so Willie (my brother) had a motorbike with a sidecar and he was sent around the farms with these jars, asking the farmers if they’d fill them up. I tell you what did happen…they sent back and asked for more!”

Eric Rodda, 1916 – 2016
