Kexborough welcomed
the Duke of Kent in this photograph when he came to open the new
allotments
around 1932. The Photograph
captures the Duke meeting some of the 34 unemployed residents
who each
recived a quarter acre
of land in a scheme financed by the Quakers. Some of the allotments
were on land opposite BP
on Huddersfield Road and some were opposite Y-Pas Chippy.
The photo below is
looking from Y-Pas toward Uplands
Ave(today it's the site of Kexborough Social Club)
