There used to be one at the bottom of Quinton Parade in Cheylesmore. I'm sure it used to dispense "jubbly shaped" cartons of chilled milk and orange juice at 6d each, which always seemed rather expensive (at the time) for the amount you got!
I spotted an old photo of Quinton Parade on Facebook the other day, with the machine just visible in the far distance, but can't find it now ![]() |

Let's rewind to the caption accompanying the photo on Facebook - it says "Anyone remember these ? There was one outside the dairy opposite the Jaguar on Browns Lane. Used to get an orange juice in a carton that was like a pyramid"
So, the photo is NOT of the one outside Carvell's dairy on Browns Lane, but of a vending machine like the one that stood there
No wonder I didn't recognise the photo ! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Neither did I on first read, Adrian - and no, I won't delete the photo, as it's so interesting and represents part of Coventry's history since these did exist within our city ![]() ![]() ![]() |

What did the cartons of milk cost?
Hi Philip, As I mentioned above, the machines I recall sold these "jubbly like" cartons for 6d each. Way overpriced in my opinion!

Even my computers search facility (Ctrl+F) fails to find more than one mention of "Whitby" in this thread (in your post). Maybe someone could enlighten me as to where Adrian identified this photo as that location? ![]() ![]() |

I wondered whether something had been deleted or if I had missed a post that was so obvious I hadn't seen it! ![]() |
