Lovely.........I am not a fan of ice cream, but that was gold medal stuff.
Does anyone remember Stanton's pop wagon? Sarsaparilla out of a brown jug like bottle....the kind they use in the US for moonshine.....Dandelion and Burdock....supposed to have tonic properties...we just drank it because it was good.

There was also another chap who sold ice cream from a horse & cart in that area called Clemson.
I remember he used to stop at the bottom of Major St, in the 1930's
