My god !!!!  haven't been on here for donkeys years and amazed to see this blog still going.

 

Anyway, many moons ago back in the early 80s I worked at Taggy's,, (smashing Ice cream made with Jersey milk), and I drove one of his three vans at the week end for awhile .

Ernest, who owned it, back then was the youngest of three brothers, two of whom were already long gone when I worked there, and though every one called Ernest Taggy, when the business was first started it  was actually started and named after his oldest brother who's nick name it had been back then .

I was born and brought up in Welney Place, Birley Carr. At the corner of Welney Place and Parson Cross Road was an ice cream maker. I think called Lewis (this was the early 1950s). They had a building in their yard with wooden doors which opened ontp Parson Cross Road. At weekends they opened the doors and sold ice cream out of a large chest freezer. The house and business was sold to the Molinari family. Mrs Molinari had a distinct Italian accent which made me think that she had been born and brought up in Italy. They expanded the business and ended up with a small fleet of vans which they stored on some land just off Fox Hill Road.

The one I remember, and am a bit surprised hasn't been mentioned in this thread unless I've missed it, is Chris's Ices although we just used to call him Mr Chris. I can still remember his face now.

 

This was in the Crookes area in the 1980s although I'm sure he'd have gone much further afield as well.

I remember " Chris's Ices" . He used to come round our estate at Gleadless in the late 70s and early 80s. Always seemed to have cotton wool in his ears.

Re. My father inherited a small "Ice Cream Firm" from his dad, they used to ply their wares from a tricycle the turn of the century around Jump, Hoyland, Elsecar, Wombwell areas. We are of Italian origin moving through Wales C1880s. I cant find any reference to the Bryan or Bryant family selling Ice Cream. I would be gratefull of any info. (my old a/c)

Since this post I have found out the Ice Cream business was run from a general shop they owned somewhere in the area ,it was the Peat family (Gran) .It was my Great grandmum who was Italian, moved up from South Wales, and since talking to the Sidoli family who I say I am the spitting image of the original owner think it could be the Sidoli family.

Carey's ice cream van used to come round shirecliffe early 60s every Sunday.He sold as many sweets as he did ice creams and I also remember him giving our gang a little quiz with the winner getting a choice from the cheap end of the sweets he had piled up at the side serving hatch.

We all called him Mr Carey and I believe he genuinley loved kids,he wouldn't sell us a chocolate liquers ,which he sold in ones because he said we were to young to have alchohol bless him.

 

 

A smashing bloke from a time we will never experience again sadly.

 

His Grandson now lives on shirecliffe.

Did 'Careys' have their factory on Charlotte Lane (between West Street and Pitt Street, just around the corner from the Bee Hive)? If so, my parents always got the name wrong and pronounced it Care-as... Lovely bloke, remember him well. We lived nearby and often bought lollies and ice cream from the factory yard. I believe his son worked there too.
