It was as I guessed sent to Bournville as a dried 'crumbs'! "The mixture (milk & cocoa) is dried in vacuum ovens to become milk chocolate ‘crumb’." "The milk chocolate crumb is taken to Cadbury chocolate factories..." It comes from Hereford - hence no milk tankers in Bournville Lane. Thanks for that link.

Cadbury's used to get most of the milk delivered this way. There were great lines of them in the sidings at Bournville. Later, they had road milk-tankers. Now? I wouldn't mind betting it arrives as a dried powder! Yuk! :( I remember these well.
