Re: Mobile Shops

I do vaguely remember the Co-op vans in the 60's. One mobile shop that does stick in my mind, though I can't place who it was, or even when, was a mobile greengrocery, with a step up at the back to a sort of counter.

My family moved onto Cromford Road (from Ebenezer Street), around 1966. A clearer memory, for me, is that I used to get sent down to the Co-op Grocery with my mum's order, which would then be delivered later in the day.

We've gone full circle with that, because as the larger supermarkets took off, deliveries became a thing of the past, only to come back now with internet orders. (That said, I prefer to look at what I'm buying myself)

I intend starting a topic on the Co-op at some time - it was such a major feature of Langley Mill.

Thanks for joining the forum.
