Stonewood Design has given a century old former creamery a new lease of life as a cheese-making facility. Located adjacent to Castle Cary railway station, the building is a well-known local landmark courtesy of its distinctive chimney, which once played a role in the dairy production process. Its latest incarnation – which also includes an associated shop and café/restaurant - returns the building to dairy function. The original creamery’s proximity to the station reflected its use of the railway network to distribute the dairy products. Now, more than a century later, the relationship has been recast. While dairy products from locally sourced milk are once again being manufactured on the site, in its new format, the building is also a hub for people.
