Think there was an ice cream chap from Rishton called Tommy Taylor who covered the Rishton, Arrod and Clayton areas.

Went to school with his son, Ian. Some Italian ice cream company offered him money for his recipe, but he wouldn't sell.

Pretty sure Tommy Taylor lived in Clayton on Whalley rd next to the old Empress Cinima, Steely I think he made his own Ice Cream. But it was a hellava long time ago.

Your probably right , new he was an 'outsider' , you know what a suspicious and clanish lot Arroders are , not quite as interbred as that lot fro Rishton but close

Was there a chap called Tripp who used to take ice cream round Clayton, probably early 1960's. Had a shop somewhere opposite Clayton Con Club?

Alan Gilmartin · 21-02-2010, 17:18

that rings a bell I'll ask my dad. There was a shop next door to the Albion that sold lovely creamy icecream.

I think he used to push it round in a hand cart and blow a whistle to let people know he was there.

I can remember buying ice cream at the shop-cafe, at Cock Bridge, I think that was Whitewells. Can't recall where it was made.

I know this is an old thread but it came up in a search for Pooles Mineral Water, and Dobbo might be interested.
Just found the service records for an Alfred Poole, served in the A.S.C.M.T. Occupation Mineral Water manufacturer, Tremellen St, Accrington, eldest son Collinson Poole born 1903.
