Hi I worked with your grandfather Cyril at Harold Moors in the late 70s. He used to keep us amused with his tales of his ice cream business. He told tales us about Ronny Duke (star of club land ) always calling for ice cream at the house. Think they were neighbours. As for the ice cream van I remember him inviting me and my girlfriend now wife up to see his beloved ford transit ice cream van which he still had. Also I think it was an old Austin A35 van in lovely condition and he used to moan about it lending it to your dad, because he thought he drove too fast. If I remember anything else will let you know

Is this the same Jacksons who parked outside Firth Park School in the60's?

[mickyboy 10]

Yes, thats them. They used to park at the Horninglow Road entrance. They had liquid chocolate that used to solidify when poured over the ice cream, amazing stuff in the 60's. He used to let certain lads have a tab.

I believe their place was rear of buildings on Attercliffe Common below the swimming baths, and Golden Ball pub just about where the front area of the stadium is now.

So sorry to hear of him passing away it really has shocked me.I can only remember him being super fit and full of life and being 15 years old.Did he go into the ice cream trade with his dad?
