Brought back memories Ben, Ringtons the tea people have been in Newcastle since 1907 i remember them delivering to my gran down the back lane but never the front street.

benjamin1945 16,118 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Funny that Gem i remember Ringtons Tea as well.........don't know if they came down to Nottingham or not? But in the mid 60s Moores stores took over Marsdens/Farrands and they were a Newcastle company.....and i worked up there for a short while,so might have come across Ringtons up there.................

Commo 1,292 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Ringtons delivered to Rudd until at least 2000, Mum had their tea for years and we did from 1968 until we moved to Yorkshire in 1971. One of the last things that Mum bought us were two blue and white mugs sold by Ringtons celebrating the Millenium. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiffy49 590 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Thanks Ian123 and everyone else too. My Brother has just informed me that it was indeed Latham Street, should have gone to Tabsavers... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Sadler 27 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Millers tes were on Latham Street not Leyland Street. Easy mistake to make. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Mrs Cs parents still buy their tea from the Rington's van who tours Bilsthorpe every couple of weeks or so. Expensive too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
