He brought a touch of past ages as he makes his tour of the Shaw Cross district on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays of each week. It is a family business started around 60 years ago by his father, George, when he escaped from the biting depression in the North East. "He came down with his belongings on his horse and cart, started up the business and only when he had established himself did he send for mother and the rest of the family," said Kenneth.
