Remember this cruising around Rotherham in distant bygone days ??

Wrinkly should remember this

Stopped trading in 1960? Rotherham number plate too. Not seen by me in Brinsworth - I'd have only been a toddler then anyway. We did have the Walls Ices tricycle though - good stuff!

Charming! There's one or two on here with a few years on me. One of them might even be driving it.

I myself remember it very well, It used to be garaged up at the top of the street I lived on in the 50s , Chemist Lane. It didn't get used very often and caused quite a bit of excitement with the local kids when it did, mainly Sundays . Reboris had a fabulous ice cream parlour just around the corner on College Rd, Art Deco , though I didn't know that was the fancy name for it in those days. I may have posted on Reboris in the past but can't remember If I had access to the photo on that occasion.

Mike didn’t know you were a Brinnie lad.

In respect of the photo I can’t help think of....
‘ and up from the ground came a bubbling crude....oil that’s is.... Texas gold’

Spent the early months of my life in Eastwood, (too young to remember much of it ) , then parents moved to Brinsworth.
Liked it, especially the Walls Ices tricycle service.

Brilliant!... and the bloke used to shout "Walls Ice Cream" as he cycled along the street... and ring a bell, I seem to remember. I know that the photo looks like something from about 1890, but it was like that in Brinsworth in the early 60s

Brinsworth - the land that time forgot...

Don't remember anything other than a motorised van selling ice cream in the fifties - pretty much like what we see today. We obviously crept a little more quickly into the twentieth century up at The Brecks

(Great picture by the way Lincs. You should post that on the "Rotherham, I remember when" page on Facebook. You'll get a zillion replies.)

There was later a motorised tricycle version too. Of course, there were "normal" ice cream vans ((Mr Whippy, etc) driving around at that time too, but not as interesting, and I preferred Wall's Ice Cream anyway
