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.

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.

Hi do you remember any of the people that worked at claytons ? 

[hillsbro 32]

I remember the Ronksleys who worked for Clayton's - Jack, Vera and sons John, Philip and Trevor. Then John Ronksley (1940-2018) set up his own ice cream business.
