Fletchers vans.

Recommended Posts

Anyone remember the Fletchers vans that used to come round at tea time?

Selling loaves and fresh cream cakes.

What happened to the vans?.

Ford transits converted into a kind of shop on wheels.

1970'

Hi Mike,

 

I used to work for T C Harrison in the early 70's, we used to paint Fletchers vans, cream & red with a coat of varnish to finish off, I can remember seeing them about after the late 70's
