OLD WEST BROMWICH PHOTOS

Ice cream with a difference, Trow`s were reknown for their Ices.

Unforunatly the recipe for his ice cream went with Mr Trow to his grave.

Every flavour of ice-cream and toppings you can imagine and sooooo cold it gave me a headache. We always went there as a family on Sundays. Remember the little back room too, extra space if the front seating area was full, which it always was.

Around 1954/5 I was in Trows with my Gran when Ronnie Allen came in for a cornet,he was my soccer hero and I think the team around that time were renowned for playing attractive attacking soccer with Allen as a prolific scorer.

From memory he was of course recognised by the staff and customers and seemed to be a charming understated hero,how unlike some of todays players.

I now live near to Fulham and support both teams,especially now that Albion have Hodgson,again one of the nicest and straight blokes in the game.

Happy days or was it all a dream?
