"Hawker Bill" well thats what my mother called him. He was the co-op mobile greengrocer 50/60's he also sold a little fresh fish and our cat was always first to the van.The bakery van was an electric vehicle like a milk float, oh the smell that came from that van was loverly. Harry Poundall what a character,my father hired is lorry to move furniture once and I road on the back, we affectionaly called him mad Harry. I once saw him in a suit, a change from the flat cap raincoat and wellingtons that he usually wore,in later years he owned a Range Rover but preffered the tractor or Transit van I think. It is maybe true that he was wealthy I believe he sold some land for the new bypass.
