THESE two photographs were shown to us by Mr T Sullivan, of Manor Drive, Waltham.

Mr Sullivan said: "With the interest and comment on the Ice Factory I thought the pictures would be of interest.

  1. COOL CUSTOMERS:  Workers at Grimsby's Ice Factory,  in the late 1920s or early 1930s, in a picture sent in by Mr T Sullivan, of Waltham. Mr Sullivan's father, Herbert, is in the centre (wearing a boilersuit). On his left is Jack Walton, a joiner.

  2. RECOGNISE ANYONE:  The only person we can identify in this group is the man standing in the centre, wearing a cloth cap. His name is Alonzo Carrington, who was a blacksmith and sheet metal worker.
