The pink pariffin man was Johnny Park. He and my uncle, Bill Whinham had the business. Johnny did the local area and my uncle went up into the rural bits of the county. They used to reckon he would always get through to remote farms whatever the weather.
They kept their vans in a garage at North Broomhill, opposite the church, just as you turn on to the Acklington Road. There's a bungalow on the site now.
