I don't know what date this pic was taken but it takes me back to visits to the park, egg rolling at Easter...hot afternoons & cold icecreams from the man on his modified cycle with its cold store, keep off the grass, or else rule. Those were the days !

Ice cream tasted different then ,
Especially when you’ve nowt ,
Wigan Park meant more to me ,
as a child exploring bout ,
Vimto had a smell to it ,
that now it seems has gone ,
but at least I’ve got my memories still ,
and they are more than one ...

Vimto ! Can you still buy Vimto ? I was very partial to it & Dandelion & Burdock. As I said, those were the days my friend.

Yes Helen you can still buy Vimto.I remember going in Boltons chemist in Scholes for hot Vimto in winter, coming home from the pictures, as it was called in those were the days my friend.
