Yesterday saw the last visit of Andrew Peach with the butcher’s van to Parwich and the area. The firm of Peach’s of Ashbourne has been selling meat from a van in the village for at least three generations of Peaches and over three generations of villagers.
There has been a decline in the number of firms bringing vans out to the villages over the years, and increasingly Andrew Peach has found it had to staff the shop and go out on the van. It was with obvious regret that he felt obliged to stop the service, which has been much appreciated by those who have used it over the years.
All that remains of the mobile shop services is Morris & Son’s fish van on a Friday
