We used to have these in all rural areas and cities too when I was a kid. Lived in a small rural place on an island and the store truck came every Saturday, still had to walk quite a bit to its stop.
The last one I remember was around in 2000ish, used to walk my then old great uncle there to do his weekly shop.
It was car brain and everyone getting their own vehicles that killed these, along with most of the public transport that used to be very good.
