Rossi Ice Cream (Southend-on-Sea)

Pietro and Luissa Rossi moved from Consett, County Durham to Southend in 1932 to start an Ice Cream business.  In 1967 due to extra demand, they built an Ice Cream factory in Lucy Road, Southend.

Even though the business now continues under different ownership, the same traditional recipe first introduced by Pietro Rossi in 1932 continues to be made.
