Guest Ant Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I always had the balloons, myself. I think Ma must have had enough pegs. Anyone get the Walls ice cream fella round their way? He'd cycle round Hackenthorpe selling ice cream and lollies from a huge grey-blue box attached to his bike. Poor sod must have been worn out at the end of his shift.

kirky Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Originally posted by Greybeard Another horse and cart outfit I remember was the milkman, it was during and probably just after the war. He had two or three churns on the cart and measured the milk into a big jug we kept on the cellar-head. . we left darnal in 1967 and we still had the horse n cart milkman,i think he was the last in sheffield.

A.B.Yaffle Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I remember there used to be a rag and bone man walking the streets with a huge barrow at Ecclesall in the mid 70's in the days when I was young! I was terrified of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramquill Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Hi, We used to get goldfish from our rag and bone man at Woodseats in the 60's. Don't think they lived very long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
