The Last Travelling Shop
Over the years lots of different businesses have brought their wares to sell in Parwich. There were still three regular vans when I moved here getting on for thirty years ago. The last remaining is R G Morris and Sons, wholesale fishmongers from Buxton. Their van stocked with fish, shellfish and an increasing range of other items came on Friday’s.
However they too are moving into the digital age of online ordering and deliveries. They are expanding the counter sales to the public and opening a restaurant in Buxton, but their regular fish van’s last visit will be on Friday 23rd of this month. People can still order for home delivery on Tuesdays to Fridays (www.gofish.co.uk), but I will miss going out each week and picking from the back of van what looked good or took my fancy.
