Hi Denise,
I cannot open the attachment, perhaps I am doing something wrong?
I would recognize your grandad I am sure, even though there would have been a big age difference. I remember the trilby hat! I was not involved in the Allotments but spent many hours in the Club, and I remember that we were never short of vegetables. The produce grown was excellent, but along came Spaghetti Junction and the fear of lead from the atmosphere!
I think that there were two brothers that had an enormous allotment and had huge greenhouse where they grew flowers. Maybe sold for the Graveyard close by? Clive Brothers comes to mind.
I will never forget an old friend who used win a lot of prizes when they had competitions and used to manage the snooker tables. I am sure many other people would remember a true character called Les Tidmarsh!
Best Wishes, Peter
