Manufacturer description

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. Ice cream production commenced in 1922 and 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 Walls ice cream livery trailer sits well on railway layouts covering many eras.
