Walls Ice Cream Austin 3 Way Van |
|
| Wall's (Ice Cream) Ltd for many years, as an independent and then as a Unilever subsidiary, made and marketed Wall's ice cream in the UK. Originally an independent British meat producer, Thomas Wall and Son Ltd reputedly considered manufacturing ice cream in 1913 to fill in the seasonal downturn in sales of meat pies and sausages in the summer months, but the advent of the First World War prevented this. Wall's was acquired by MacFisheries in 1920 and then (1922) by Lever Brothers Ltd (together with Margarine Union, the founder company of Unilever). Ice cream production commenced in 1922 at a factory in Action. As ice cream production grew in significance. Unilever split the company into two, T Wall and Son (Ice Cream) Ltd and T Wall and Son (Meats) Ltd, selling off the meat company in 1944. This is an authentic Walls ice cream livery adding to our very popular Austin threeway. | |
