I AM chairperson of the Walton Road Allotment Society.
Since 2010 Walton Road Allotments has won best site in Sale every year. I have recently started to write about the history of Walton Road Allotments and come up with some interesting facts.
I would also like to appeal to anyone who has had a plot at Walton Road (or has relations who have had plots), to raid their photo albums for old photographs that may be interesting to include in the history. Also any anecdotes from old plot holders.
I will be presenting the history at Sale Civic Society in February next year and would love to hear from anyone whose family has been involved in the allotment site so that I can include their photographs and stories into the presentation.
I would be particularly interested in hearing from the family of a local man, Reg Wood, who had five plots during the war and kept his plot until he was 90.
