alphlonewolf   10 #1 Posted March 10, 2012 hi guys does anyone remember the (Tea Gardens) on grimesthorpe road. i remember my parents ,aunts and uncles going there in early to late 60's. Its still standing all on its own and its in a sorry state. My first memory of the tea gardens was when a large crowd were walking up ditchingham road after coming out of the pub.they were helping a woman up the hill in an black astrocan coat .turns out it was my mum beingg helped by the family .first time i had seen anyone drunk before .
