Ice Cream Makers Gt Yarmouth

[Balls]

Hi, can anyone tell me if there was an ice cream makers in Gt Yarmouth by the name of Mansi Brothers.  My Great Grandmother Florence Balls nee Hough, used to sell ices on Yarmouth sea front.  I have posted a photo below, I think the name Mansi Bros is on the cart or stall.

Cheers David



Florence (on the right) selling ice cream, I think the name Mansi Bros can just be made out above her head.

It might be worth contacting the Time & Tide Museum at Great Yarmouth to see if they have any information.

Thanks both.

I know there was an Italian man with the surname Falco who sold Ice Cream in Gt. Yarmouth in the winter I think he sold hot jacket potatoes

Hi David, I stumbled across this site by accident looking for the address of Mansi ice creams in London! I see you haven't been on the site for a long time but thought it might be worthwhile replying to your question. My great grandfather was the Mansi that started the ice cream business in Great Yarmouth! Did your great grandmother have a son called Frank ( Frankie?). Hope you get this message! Julie B

Hi Julie, thanks for your reply.  No, my GGMother didn't have a son called Frank (not that I know of).

Regards

David

FAO Press, the Italian ice cream seller by the name of Falco is supposedly a distant family relative, do you have any other information on him please?
