Does anyone have any ideas why an #Islington brewery would be awarding trophies to the #Walthamstow Spade Husbandry Society in the 1950s? I already know about the history of this allotment but was intrigued by the brewery connection.
ALT A wooden oval plaque with wording on a metal oval within saying that the Wenlock Brewery was awarding the Wenlock Trophy to Walthamstow Spade Husbandry. Smaller inscriptions show Hale End as a regular winner in the 1950s.

Have the gardeners of #StJames’s Square SW1 travelled forward in time or is this a typo? Look at the size of these squashes too!

I climbed the Cally Clock Tower, which once looked over two bustling Islington markets - meat, then flea - for the latest in my Sketches of London series for The Times.
