:help::confused: MY GRANDAD HAROLD BUNTING (BUNNY) HAD AN ALLOTMENT AROUND THE WOODSEATS AREA BACK IN THE 40'S - 60'S DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHERE ABOUTS THEY WERE ? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF HIM AND/OR THE ALLOTMENTS. THANKYOU.

I think there are some allotments off Chesterfield Road, on the left between Valley Rd and Derbyshire Lane. Also one at Gleadless Townend.

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.

:)thank you so much for the info, my grandad ended up building a mini bungalow there, just home from home, it was wonderful,the weekends were spent up there and what a great time i had as a child.....if anyione else can remember anything i would love to hear from you, sadly my grandad is not with us anymore, so, i'm depending the kind people of sheffield 8 to help. Thank you so much, youv'e made an ole women very happy....lol. Until next time.

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 :D

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.

What a good idea, yes, i do have some photos, thank you so much.
