Wow! my heart lept when i saw the pictures on this site – a diamond in the rough. We need to save this beautiful place for future generations and to stand up to these large building contractors who are slowly squeezing the life out of our ever depleting green spaces. It’s not just about people but about the important plant species and wildlife too.

One thing I didn’t see! I’m sure there will be lots more species to add by summer …

Great initiative! The Council and neighbours need to be made aware of the financial value of keeping this as a QUALITY green space: increasing value of neighbouring property benefits to health and well being, avoiding flooding…etc. Good luck, you’ve doing great.

The fields were still in use in the 1970s – we had our school sports day on them, and the council was maintaining them at this time. I recall using the changing rooms in the early 80s while a student at NK.

At Guy Fawkes, the community would have fireworks here, with special homemade fireworks from some local residents. Those were the best! I lived in the fire station, and with all the firemen around we’d get through Bonfire night injury free.

I think the tennis courts still had nets in the 70s, but I may be wrong. I mainly rode my bike around the fields, and played with friends there. Good luck fighting the development.

Hi Andy
Sounds interesting?!
Is it possible to send me a photo of the plant to my email address to identify it for you. Anything to create interest to stop the developers …

I think there’s a yellow and purple orchid growing next to my half barrel planter. Seems to be very happy. A lot happier than my parched seedlings.
