Same here. My auntie & unclue used to take me and my sister there in the 70's. The allotments were gone but the rooms were still there. Always remember my uncle having to cut the barb wire the farmers put up to get get through to the gate.

Ian if you ever see this our paths could well have crossed. Our Nan and Grandad took my twin sister and I every year from the summer of 1962 until the mid 70s we loved it there. Used to play with the kids on the farm snd the kids in the house in the lane.

They may well have. Please email. I remember playing with the kids at the house at the top of the hill. Seem to remember a swing in their garden and walks down the canal
