Tricketts.........
 

When I was a kid.....always the best treat I had was from the Tricketts ice cream man who pedalled his bike into the street....with the big box of ice cream on it.....musta been a devil to ride that thing....but boy.....did the ice cream taste good.....having wall,s ice cream after that was a no no....

I'm with you Tal, Tricketts and also Birtwells always seemed to taste that little bit better didn't they?

Re: Tricketts.........
 

With you on that one too .. just summat different about them both. Birtwells used to come down our street with his horse and cart selling the ice cream, had a place up Huncoat next to the pub where he made it.

Had a whistle to let you know he was around ... not those recorded things which are torture on the ear drums. :)

Re: Tricketts.........
 

Biggest disaster that happened when Birtwells closed up ice cream making. As a kid in the summer we would go into the little area it was made for a cone. Can still smell and taste it oh memories. Wonder if Ian and Linda still have the recipe??

Re: Tricketts.........
 

Yeah both good ones, you have to go to edgeworth now to get a decent one, cant be doing with that stuff thats made from powder yuk

Re: Tricketts.........
 

Re: Tricketts.........
 

Yeah, and did you get "Blood" on yours?

Re: Tricketts.........
 

Oh yes and it looked good on the yellow Ice Cream yum yum yum. :D

Re: Tricketts.........
 

Do you remember Tricketts in the Market Hall? You could go inside the stall and sit down with an Iced Lemon - oh I can still taste it! There is a shop in Ossy, just opposite the Civic Centre, next to the gym, that make their own ice cream in Summer, and it is good. There's also one in Chatburn, on a corner, that does fabulous home made ice cream.
