WarPig Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think there are some allotments off Chesterfield Road, on the left between Valley Rd and Derbyshire Lane. Also one at Gleadless Townend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natjack Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think there was a massive area of allotments where the crematorium area is now and there are still a few somewhere at the end of Camping Lane off Abbey Lane. My step-granpa had an allotment somewhere there, I got told a lot of anecdotes by stepma and her brother about their 'adventures' there. Sounds like it was a cool area for kids to play in those days.

Kept toys there, bikes, everything. Nunks used to tell me that it was a home from home but better, with no mean old neighbours and the bonus of fresh air. They used to think they were almost in the country back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Have you any photos of him on his allotment? Is so, the local free magazines (Active 8?) might publish them to see if anyone recognises it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
