Turner's Ice Cream

One of my big brothers had a holiday job with Turner's Ice Cream of Mosborough. He called in at home when he needed a break during the day which was very popular with myself and the neighbours' children. In the picture are my mother and children of 2 of our neighbours. Ice cream was served by the scoop from dry ice freezers (which could not cope with very hot weather). No chimes, the ice cream man had a piercing whistle to blow. My brother was very popular, much to the annoyance of the opposition, as he would do magic tricks including occasionally finding 3d behind a child's ear if they had no money for a cornet! This was one of the "new" vans operated by Turners made in the 1950s. The "old" vans were from about 1930 and had the accelerator pedal between the brake and clutch.
