We  had a man  with  a  cart  selling  cockles  and  the  like, then he  would  have  strawberries when  they  were  in season ,  I also  remember one section of  the  Kings troops on  horse back   would  travel  down  the road  where  I lived to  exercise  in Hyde Park, spectacular

We didn't have a man with a cart but a man used to visit the pubs and clubs selling cockles from a basket, he sold them in cone shaped bags with a wooden fork provided and a shake of vinegar and salt if required. He was closely followed by the Salvation Army selling the "War Cry"  ;D ;D

About 1980 ish my  brother  went  around the clubs  with basket  selling sea  food  in  a  basket in  the  Peterborough area, it  wasn't  his  full time  job  but it    was   needed as extra  income, he  was  very  popular
