Arthur Ritus 30 #230 Posted February 13, 2020 What were Claytons ice cream vans called? i remember seeing the "Ronksley's", "mr whippy" Manfredi vans name but i can't remember Claytons being called by their own name - at least written in big letters on the side of the van. I remember the guy who regularly came up our road (bit of a grumpy chap never smiled - dealing with screaming kids all day probably would make any body like that though), my dad knew the Claytons and asked him how his dad was doing so presumably hew was one of the Clayton family but i just can't see the name on the side of the van.

hillsbro 32 #231 Posted February 13, 2020 Jack Clayton did sell ice cream under his own name, with "J. CLAYTON" on the vans, but this is going back to the 1950s/60s. Jack and Vera Ronksley worked for Jack until they set up on their own; their son John was still selling ice cream in the area until a few years ago.
