My Mothers family lived in the farm which was over the railway from
Sages Lane. They moved there in about 1926 and left in 1938. My
Mother still lives in the house they moved into when they left the
farm. My Grandfather was a Horseman for Browns farm. from

I'm another non-local resident now,
I was born and lived in Francis Gardens (just on border of Walton
area) for 30+ years. The rest of my family still live there.

My father originated from Paston Lane, where my Grandmother lived
until 2007 when she died aged 105 - (must be a good healthy area!!

I now live near Kettering in Northants (the county Peterborough was in
at the time of my birth so I don't actually class myself as having
changed county)

Hello Maureen
I live in Orton now, but I lived in Werrington from 1956 to 1958, then
in Walton until 1964, when we noved to Kettering for my Dad's work. I
went to school at Werrington and Walton Junior schools, so I know the
area well, had a friend in Sages Lane, also Lincoln Road. I was also
born in Paston Lane, my grandmother's house, but then we went to live
in Maxey.

Hi
I would still like to hear from anyone who remembers my Mothers family, but I don't expect anyone will still remember them living at Headings farm. The farm in the field over the railway from Sages Lane. I t is nice to hear from other people who lived in Walton. I can still remember being able to walk across the fields and wreck from Paston Lane to Mountsteven Avenue. At that time Croyland road at Churchfield Road end was just a dirt track.

Hi Maureen. I remember the farm very well.It was a wonderful walk from Mountsteven Avenue into Sages Lane, across the railway lines to the fields and the farm. I am sure I helped at thrashing time where they had a steam traction engine driving the thresher.I was a young lad at the time and also remember riding on back of the young bullocks in their pen when no one was about ! There was for a time a "tented" army group with gun etc close to the farm to protect the railway I presume.Further on past the farm I believe I remember the sheath's of corn all stood up in the fields to dry.
Also at the end of Sages Lane just before the crossing there was a cottage with very nice grape vine growing out side. By the way, we lived in Mountsteven Ave from around 1936 until the 60's.Regards G Boughton.

Hi again Maureen. I went to Walton Junior around 1938 then on to the senior school, which I left to go to Kings School in 1945. Mr Avery was the Walton head then. I would just love to walk around the old school again for old time sake, but of course it's gone now, I do however remember quite sentimentally the assembly hall, classrooms,playgrounds etc.etc. Regards Gordon

Hi Gordon
I started School in 1948. I started senior school in 1956 and left in Dec 1959. Mr Avery was still the Headmaster, Mr Judd was Science Master, and he seems to be the teacher that most people you speak to remember.
