-Nice man & family.
His dairy used to be on the edge of town as I recall. Now the location is more like the middle of town.
-I remember when they delivered with there grey horse and we used to hang on the back and get dragged up our dirt road ! Great family !
- Great memories of that Dairy! Sitting on the stools in the front area and having milk shakes. My dad was one of their "milk men" doing deliveries -- he had a truck, not the horse. Have a lot of memories of my brother and I riding around with him in the milk truck -- we couldn't get over that the truck had no doors! And yes, Irwin Noble was very nice to his workers.
- Some great memories of the dairy bar!Peter was my roommate our first year at U o W!!
- I now am able to recall Anne Lorraine´s brother, who I baby-sat on occasion. During high schol, A-L and I "went together" for a while, I recall a photo of the two of us at the Formal, both of us "high" on KoolAid punch (Evening in Paris was the theme, if I recall), anyway, the photo, both of us standing, me behind her with my arms wrapped ´round her waist and some.... we lived up Guelph next to where Barrager´s Cleaners was, hardware store on the right, Murdochs sewing???? were our landlords, so I always had to pass the dairy, where milkshakes and cones were always a great stop before starting homework etc....
- And glass milk bottles and the horse knew the house to stop at
- remember the “clip clop” and the rattle of the milk bottles as the horse walked along on his own. And the “milkman” ran in and out to the door stoop refilling whatever empty bottles we left to indicate what was needed.
Cool memories.
- Our dad worked for him for many years at the dairy.
- yes Dad worked for Irwin from 1957 till Georgetown Dairy closed.
- Dad also made almost all of Georgetown Dairy's ice cream ... from preparation of the mix to the finished product. Ice cream making machine and freezer were in the back corner of the lower level of the dairy. We were Dad's helpers.
- a favourite thing to do
- My favourite was EATING his ice cream. I remember one time when dad brought home Peach ice cream. It was the best thing I had ever tasted. As we travel, I have looked for peach ice cream - firstly it's hard to find, and secondly nobody else's compares. Mmmmm :)
- That was a fun thing to do, a good childhood memory
- I was so scared of this man when I was little. Don’t know why.
-Best chocolate milk ever. Went to school with his son, for the life of me I can't remember his first name.
- Peter & Phillip I believe.
- It was Peter Noble. Thanks.
-Our class at Wrigglesworth went to Georgetown Diary when we were studying how milk is pasteurized. At the end of our tour we got a free ice cream cone!
- When I was in Grade 1 or 2 Noble's Dairy was om Main Street where Canada Trust was until recently (can't remember the name of the new Italian restaurant) and that was where the Toronto Suburban Railway Station was. Anne Lorraine Noble was in my class and we got a tour of the Dairy by her Dad. Irwin Noble's Dairy started in 1949 when he took over Brethours Dairy. Before that it had been Tyers Dairy who had taken over the Toronto Suburbab Railway building. Some historical data thanks to John McDonald's "Halton Sketches".
-I am friends with the Tyers grandchildren
- Two Tyers daughters were in the Pipe band
- Literally in our back yard on Normandy 😀
- Loved going there for ice cream so good
- Remember when they delivered by horse and wagon. We would get a full case of milk at Xmas. Remember the cream rising to the top and popping the lid when it froze.
Great ice cream and sundaes at the dairy bar at Maple Ave and Guelph!
- Living on the Blvd. I knew the Noble family well. I was sent almost daily to run errands there. Mrs. Noble was a lovely lady.
- oh my the memories of yesteryear
- Irwin Noble founded the Senior Men’s Lunch Group which still meets monthly
- Was a huge fan of the strawberry milkshakes! 🍓
- When Ray could come home on the weekends from playing hockey in Peterborough we would go there all the time. He had the best hamburgers and Mrs. Noble was a great baker.Loved that place.
- My Mom worked for them in the evenings at the ice cream bar. I remember always waking up @ 7:10-7:15 am to the sound of his horses & wagon delivery milk in the mornings. I grew up on the Blvd.
- I also grew up on Normandy.
- Years later I ended up working with his son Peter. What a small world.
- My mom smoked back then and they had a cigarette machine just inside the front door. 50 cents a pack if I recall correctly. And man..... those glass milk jugs were heavy to carry home. I usually made it to the gas station at the top of Normandy before I’d have to put it down 😀 switch hands and then home. Our house was 1st beside the gas station. 6 Normandy and my grandparents lived next door at #8.
- Best strawberry milkshakes ever (and the ice cream was pretty good too).
- I worked for Irwin on Saturdays with John Moore on the milk wagon pulled by Blakey the horse. He knew the route better than anyone.
- I remember our milk being delivered by a horse and wagon. Not sure if it was Nobles. The milkman was Doug Norton.
- Once a week going to Wrigglesworth mom gave us money to have lunch at the Georgetown Dairy Bar owned by Mr Noble, a sandwich, large glass of Chocolate and a nickel cone, awesome :) Mr Noble would take us on a tour to watch the Ice Cream being made...
- my mother gave me money to go there for lunch too and always on a Friday. All grade eights from Harrison went to Wrigglesworth while Centennial was being built. I always ordered a hamburger and a piece of home made coconut cream pie 😋
- I think that’s where you could take your own bowl and they would fill it up then run like hell home before it melted
-Irwin and Joy were awesome people. I didn't get to know Irwin until he got into 'Real Estate.
- I think he also delivered milk in G Town
- It was such a treat to go there for an ice cream! Great childhood memories. Thx
- do you remember going after swimming lessons to get something.
- yes I sure do! Do you remember Ma & Pa’s store on the corner down by the Old Arena. A nickel could get you lots of candy. I think they were the 1st “convenience” store I town along with “Joe” McClintocks on the Main Street.
- We went in there too. Happy memories my friend
-Could buy two smokes for a nickel at Ma & Pas lol
