Yes i remember Tommy, lovely man and a good worker.I remember him showing me once where the water could be drained from the lake. The foreman at the time was Joe Webster (i think).
Thanks for saying that Allan. He died about 5 years go aged 93. Taught me a lot about gardening and he's missed a lot.
Allan, I talked to Stephen today, he remembers working with you and Geoffrey..
Catherine
Sorry to hear about Tommy,I meant every word of what I said, and I am happy to hear that he left you with a love of gardening.
Janet
Thanks for the reply and please give my regards to Stephen when you see him, happy days were spent working in the park.
Another name I remember is Derek Prescott.
