York Jones. Front Section/Choc Ice Machine Area

A Memory of Droitwich Spa.

In this photo, you can see two machines for chopping ice cream into blocks. Some blocks were small for choc ices and wafer ices. Some were larger for making 'bricks'. In the background, on the left, is my father's (Dick Sinfield) office. On the right, the large door behind the two machines is the door to the large freezer, the 'locker', where the ice creams and lollies would be stored. On top of the freezer are several cardboard boxes containing ice cream packaging such as cups, rolls of paper for wrapping the choc ices, flat packed boxes for the bricks and for multiple plain ice creams or choc ices. Just off to the right, out of shot, would be the choc-ice line.
