I lived at Holland Moor the early 40's. We had an ice cream man who used to call at the village ( yes, it was a village then ) He drove a fancy cart pull by a horse. I wonder if it was De Roma's because we used to sing....I like Ice Creameo...made by De Romeo, to a tune from an Italian opera!
Did I say the early 40's ? I'm not that old, should have said late 40's early 50's
not sure if my dad went up that way, but he did start selling ice cream with a horse & cart
