Wales & Edwards

A Wales & Edwards Rangemaster milk float owned by Dairy Crest but still in the old Unigate livery.

Wales & Edwards was a British manufacturer of milk floats based in Harlescott, Shrewsbury. They were particularly well known for their three wheelers. It was one of the oldest milk float manufacturers lasting from the early 1940s to the early 1990s. In 1989, the company was acquired by Smith Electric Vehicles.[1] They sold mainly to United Dairies (later known as Unigate) and in the early years to Express Dairies. The basic design has evolved throughout W&Es existence before finally ending its days as the Rangemaster.
