Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
It WAS delicious ice cream, too, far better than Walls or Lyons. If anybody finds any, please let me know - you've started my mouth watering.

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
If that ad was 1956 I wonder if they had other branches by the 1970s (when I was working in Clayton) or I wonder if it was a different firm?
I'd love to find a later ad now.

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
I think they had closed down by the 70's, taken over by Associated Dairies and just doing milk.

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
Curioser and curioser because it was certainly no earlier than the 70s when I recall this refridgerated something or other behind Clayton Con.

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
Can't remember the name but the shop is on a corner in Chatburn, just where you turn off to go to Downham. Mind you I haven't been there in ages so for all I know they could have closed down too.

Collinson Poole/Whitewells and Bonds of Elswick
Once the name Collinson Poole was one of the main mineral water manufacturers in Clayton Le Moors. In 1962 Whitewells moved into the building used by this firm on Grimshaw St. In 1986 Whitewells went into liquidation, but hopes of a takeover came to nothing. The premises and contents were auctioned April 1986.
As for the best of the moment, I like Bonds of Elswick. This photo was only taken yesterday at Lytham

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
![Smilie](https://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif) Thanks Atarah. Grimshaw Street, as I now remember, is the name of the street up the side of Clayton Con and as Whitewell occupied those premises (entered on Grimshaw St and located directly behind the Con) between 1962 and 1986 that fits in with my memory of them being there in the 70s. The old brain cells obviously aren't quite so frazzled as I was beginning to think they were!

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
The associated daries were on park street , Before it was the daires i think it was park mill , cos we lived opposite the daires on cedar st, we used to have a corner shop there in the early 70's and my gran lived on park st and worked in the mill.

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
Albert ("Hi scream he-yar")has long since passed away. The building which used to be his farm has now been converted into a row of houses bearing the name "Piper's Row" which is actually the name of an old Huncoat row of houses which no longer exists. I'm sure someone who knows more about history (Atarah?) would be able to fill us in on that.

Huncoat
Hi, no knowledge of Huncoat, sorry, but the new Huncoat book out, by John Goddard, may have the information in it.

Re: Do Whitewells still do ice-cream?
Surely, it was Birtwell's ice cream that was made in Huncoat, wasn't it? I went to school with the son, Ian.
