Monday Memories! ⭐🎞😍 📷📸

Pictured circa 1946 is youngster Lesley Stevens with a doll's pram made by her father, Len Stevens.

When the local ice-man didn't deliver during excessively hot weekends, the family would use the pram to collect supplies for their ice chest from Concanen's on Jersey Street in Wembley.
