I lived at number 2 as a child Upto 1981, the oak tree mentioned I remember well, it was a fair drop over the wall and there was a an opening that went a few meters under the road that had some type of big valves, there was an abundance of toads and newts to be had back then , fond memories.
I remember visiting my dad at work in the powder mag as a 10 year old in 1976 and was awestruck at seeing the bittern and blue peter in the yard Great little video mate Many thanks for that Gary
Considering that Walton closed just 30 odd years ago the place is unrecognisable. I walk the dog there and try to imagine where everything was but it defeats me. I enjoyed your video - thank you.
@cjknowles1972 the story I got told by my mum was her auntie had an argument with her other aunt so he struck her and she hit her head on fire gaurd and put her to bed next day she was dead so she took her to pit shaft as walton pit in a silver cross pram and dumped her there. And she told my mums uncle when he asked where she was she said she's gone back home and she kept taking her pension out to make it look like she was alive.

Really interested to see this lovely film. We also lived in number 6 Woodyard Cottages and my daughter was born there in 2000!
Anyone remember the body that was chucked in the old shaft at walton pit. It was my mothers auntie who had done it. Very bad it was
@@Gypsythings1 My grandma used to talk a lot about that incident.
