Where in Grantham was this? – The answer

February 15, 2018 by Grantham Matters 4 Comments

 

This photo was taken in Grantham in September 1977. Does anyone know what the occasion is, or where?

 

This picture is labelled as Greenhill Road in 1977 and I’m pretty sure it is the same event.

    Be good to find out the answer on this! I see the church behind of St Johns? That big “sheeted” roof/building looks like GRS workshops, but the church would not be there? & I do not recognise the two roofed building behind? Umn! Hope we get an answer! Not going to leave without a guess though! playing fields behind or near Alexandra Road? Tony.

    I’m pretty sure this is in the playing field at the end of Tyndall Road, off Greenhill road. I lived on Greenhill Road at the time. The event being to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. The tall chap in the centre could be John Hedworth, Gasfitter. I recognise one of the ladies – the one to the right of the picture, leaning forward – but her name escapes me at present. I was there – took part in the knobbly knees competition, judged by Betty Widdowson – pleased to say I didn’t win.

    John Hedworth was more than just a gas fitter. Great guitarist in the Witham Valley Stompers.

    And yes, having found a similar picture I do believe it is Greenhill Road
