Pictures From The Past – October 19

Welcome to this week's collection of nostalgia photos from the pages of the Shropshire Star.

Published Oct 19, 2018

This van looks a bit like an ice cream cone, and as it's a Sidoli's ice cream van, pictured at Harlescott in Shrewsbury in 1935, that is obviously no coincidence. The bodywork was built by Vincent Greenhous and the van was a familiar sight around Shrewsbury. The bodywork is believed to have ended up rotting away in an old quarry near Myddle.
