Mini Vans - Twin Set Lyons Maid |
|
A lovely twin set of Minis with the Lyons Maid livery who had started to make
ice-cream in 1894 using the turbine bowl method. When refrigeration was further
developed after the First World War production increased and automation helped
to bring the product to a wider market. Unlike America, ice-cream in Britain was
seasonal with fluctuating sales depending on the weather pattern. With use of
frozen carbon dioxide Lyons were able to ship their ice-cream from the Cadby
Hall factory, by train, to most parts of the UK setting up cold stores at
several rail-heads. Ice-cream sales continued to grow and new hand-held products
were introduced such as the frozen ice-lolly. As with the other parts of the
Lyons group expansion of market share was all important and many smaller,
regional ice-cream businesses were purchased This not only increased Lyons'
market share of ice-cream, but brought into the group new, local production
facilities thus saving expensive refrigerated transport costs.
