Anthony Hailwood

Anthony Hailwood (4 July 1838 – 24 June 1922) was the first person to sell sterilised milk in the United Kingdom.
Early life.
Hailwood was born in Rochdale and brought up in Salford, Lancashire, where he worked as a milk boy from the age of four. He also worked as a tier-boy to a block printer for 1s and 6d (7½p) a week. At the age of 8, he worked for Jacob Bright of Rochdale as a half-timer, whereby he spent some time at school, and worked in cotton mills until the age of 15. 
Dairy industry.
After 15 years of working on the railways, Hailwood entered the dairy industry in 1858. He was one of the founders of the Worleston Dairy Institute, the first of its kind in the UK, at Aston juxta Mondrum in Cheshire, which closed in 1926.
He later owned Rose Tree Farm and Black Greyhound Farm, with 85 acres, at Lostock Gralam, near Northwich in Cheshire.
Milk sterilisation.
In 1894, Hailwood began the commercial sterilisation of milk in the UK, providing it under the name Cheshire Sterilised Milk Company. This meant that milk could then be stored for a longer time.
Personal life.
He lived at Victoria Lodge, on "Lower Broughton Road" in Higher Broughton in Salford (near where the A576 crosses the River Irwell).
He was on the Salford Town Council for many years.
