"Cooling Ices" sold by Arthur Cooling at Mablethorpe & Sutton on Sea

[sherlock1207]

My late father remembered holidaying at 14 Regent Road, Mablethorpe - a bungalow inhabited by a family called Cooling. He thought that the head of the family was a cousin of his maternal grandfather, Rueben Cooling. The old man Cooling worked for the local gas company in Mablethorpe, and his son Albert made and sold ice cream at Mablethorpe and nearby Sutton on Sea. The tricycle from which Albert sold his ice cream bore the appropriate legend “Cooling Ices”.

Does anyone know of any photos of the "Cooling Ices" tricycle in a book or elsewhere?

Two years on I'm still hoping for a reply on this one.

Sorry can't help with your query, but did you have any Coolings go to Australia?

I don't know of any that went to Oz, but I'll ask my Cooling relatives around here as and when I see them. If there's anything to report, I'll get back to you.

Thank you!

sherlock - Might be worth contacting the My Mablethorpe Forum as there is a lady (called Pam) there who is very helpful when it comes to tracing old families/memories

Thanks - a great suggestion. I've left a posting at my-mablethorpe.com.
