Pete was seven when his family first pitched up at the old Gorton Market. The Sivoris have been making ice cream in Manchester for more than a century.
Selling ice cream on the vans since he was 17, Pete took over the Gorton café before the market moved to its current home on Garratt Way, where supermarket Leo's once stood. But, after 47 years on the market, Sivori's Café is set to close next week.
"It's got to the point where it's not sustainable for me," Pete says, sipping an espresso. "The customer base is the same, but the overheads are too high."
