RE: I remember Bennetts ice cream...

I worked for Bennets Ice Cream at Birdwell. After I had done a shift at Monkton Coliery 6am - 1-30pm. Ice Cream 2-30pm to 7-30pm.

Lovely Ice Cream. I got to have the first scoop off the top of the churn when I collected the van. This was the creamy part on top.

 

we's one of the ppl in the stand in the back ground is my guess

RE: I reckon your brother's...

Right,well done

 

RE: I reckon your brother's...

Is that a local cup final Bob? Looks like a decent crowd there.</p>

I remember when I was a younster in the late 50's the Beckett Cup Final would attract a few thousand to watch.</p>

Ward Green won it one year and they drove round t'village in a single decker bus!
