Just had a visit from a Suntour owner, not registered on the forum yet, but will join us soon
Anyway, I was showing him round the collection, we went into the barn where the Butchers van is and he recognised it straight away. "That used to come to my house, when I was a kid. CH Staley was the local Butcher, used to come on a Saturday morning. My parents bought their meat from him and even had a running 'Tab' with him!"
I love to get any history on the vans, so was amazed to find someone that knew it well. He's going to ask his father about it and find a bit more info- can't wait

Might be a bit of a problem getting the hygiene certificate with it as it is

Full of enthusiasm after last weekend, I decided to make a start on the Butchers van. Looks like I could be burning a few candles :I
