Crediton
Crediton is a town and civil parish in the Mid Devon area of Devon in England. It bases on the A377 Exeter to Barnstaple roadway at the joint with the A3072 road to Tiverton, about 7 miles (11 km) north west of Exeter. It has a population of 6,837, raising to 7,835 at the 2011 Census. Crediton has 2 electoral wards (Boniface and Lawrence). The mixed population of these wards at the 2011 Census was 7,600. The town is situated in the narrow vale of the River Creedy, in between two steep hills and also is divided into 2 components, the north or old town (Peoples park, QECC etc.) as well as the south and eastern or brand-new town. (QECC Barnfield, Saxon Close etc.) In the very early 20th century shoe-making, tanning, farming profession, tin-plating and the manufacture of confectionery and cider had superseded the former big woollen and serge industries. The creamery and dairy in Crediton has actually always been located beside the church, but to allow its item to be dispersed further, the company ran a transportation depot that was located in the goods backyard of the train station. Every day, a train of 3 or more Milk Container Wagons would be filled up from lorries, and then taken to London by either the Great Western Railway or the Southern Railway. Express Dairies sold the creamery and a similar system in Kirkcudbright, Scotland in July 2002 to Milk Link, which both by that time created UHT milk.
