SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE IN SALFORD I

f you fancy a walk in the park this summer, Salford has more than 60 to choose from.

The oldest is Peel Park, which includes Salford Museum and Art Gallery. Opened in 1846, it was the first truly public park in England, and was recently restored to its Victorian glory. The park is also part of the 33 mile long Irwell Sculpture Trail, from Salford Quays to Bury. Find full details of the trail at www.irwellsculpturetrail.co.uk. Nearby Kersal Wetlands, off Littleton Road is a haven for birds and part of Salford’s second flood basin. Further up the Irwell river valley, Clifton Country Park has 48 hectares of open space as well as the remains of the Wet Earth Colliery, sunk in 1740. Clifton Country Park’s new play area is great for disabled children, with wheel friendly surfaces, a basket seat swing, accessible roundabout and picnic benches. Look out for the giant swing, climbing frame with monkey bars, ropes and slides and animal themed springies. The park café welcomes dogs and offers a tasty menu of hot drinks, soup and snacks.

EATING OUT...with a difference

These days, we eat out more often and for a wider range of occasions. Compared to when we were children going out for a milestone birthday or anniversary (if we were lucky!) - now we eat out with friends, family or work colleagues on a weekly basis. We are fortunate to live in an area with an excellent choice of cafes, bars and restaurants with new independents opening on a regular basis. In this feature we focus on highlighting local eateries with a unique offering; something you may not already know about and somewhere new that is certainly worth trying!

Advice for the Top Table Guests 1. If possible, start looking for your outfit at least 12 months prior to the wedding.

6. Do not worry about your shape or size, the ladies in the shop wil be able to assist and advise you they will have come across this before. We all have hang-ups.

2. When you go looking for your outfit, be openminded. Sometimes outfits need a body in them - they have no ‘hangar appeal’. Very often a lady falls in love with something she dismissed at first.

7. The only opinion that really matters is yours. If you feel good in the shop, you will look and feel amazing on the day.

3. Give consideration to the time of year, venue or location of the wedding when choosing your outfit. 4. It’s adviseable to avoid High Street stores. You may run the risk of a guest wearing the same outfit. Stick to a specialist.

8. Choose a shop that offers an alteration service your outfit should fit you perfectly. 9. A good independent shop can advise you but the final decision should be yours. 10. Enjoy the experience - being a Top Table guest should be memorable for all the right reasons.

Happy Shopping xxx

5. It isn’t necessary to spend a fortune to look a million dollars.

THE PETERLOO MASSACRE O

ne of the most momentous events in local and national history came to pass two hundred years ago.

On August 16th 1819 the Peterloo Massacre took place on St Peter’s Field, Manchester. About 60,000 people had gathered on St Peter’s Field, near the later Free Trade Hall. Many had walked long distances, behind banners, from outlying towns, such as Middleton, Oldham, Bolton and Rochdale. Numerous women and children were present to hear speeches asking for parliamentary representation at a time of poverty and unrest. Despite the peaceful nature of the crowd the magistrates were unsettled and read the Riot Act. When this had little effect they ordered in the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry Cavalry to clear the scene and arrest the speakers. These drunken soldiers ran amok and lashed out at the crowd with their sabres. Following the recent military victory at Waterloo, the event was soon named the Peterloo Massacre. It is estimated that there were approximately 654 casualties, including 18 dead. 61 of these came from the current Salford area, including two deaths. One was Martha Parkinson, from Eccles, who was from a local Methodist family. One of the ironies is that both sides of the massacre came from the same neighbourhoods. John Burgess, who was a leading founder of many local Methodist chapels, was one of the Yeomanry who is recorded as using his sabre to injure a protester. There are many commemorations taking place this year and a memorial is being built close to the original site, in front of Manchester Central. Exhibitions are being held at John Rylands Library, The People’s History Museum and the Working Class Movement Library. We are delighted that the spectacular Peterloo Tableau will be housed at Salford Histories Festival which will take place at Walkden Methodist Church, Saturday 21st September, 10am-4pm. Entry is FREE. There will be displays, talks, stalls, refreshments and a presentation of the Frank Mullineux Award at 1pm by the Ceremonial Mayor. Talks include:-

SEASONAL JOBS DOWN AT THE ALLOTMENT! by Geoff Hamilton, Macmillan Cancer Support Volunteer

Milk Bottle Recycling

Wildflowr Barrow

Building our Gazebo

/'&3&+'!/'&3&+'!/'&3&+'"

The Plotters decided to help save the planet so we now recycle everything possible! It’s amazing what can be done with plastic milk containers - remove one side, fill with compost, sow your salad crops and they fit nicely between rows of carrots in a raised bed - maximising space usage. An old wheelbarrow ready to be scrapped has been turned into a miniature wildflower meadow with some compost and wildflower seeds from the RHS.

If like many, you stop cropping rhubarb at the end of July, it’s a good idea to give the crowns a good covering of farmyard manure. Sweet peas need to be kept ‘tied-in’ and ‘dead- headed’ to encourage more flowers to come through. Onions and Shallots will be ready for lifting soon and if you have some early results, don’t be tempted to bend the tops to speed the process, this was once the tradition but, it doesn’t improve your crops.

Don’t let the pretty summer weeds run to seed or they will give you grief next Spring. Remember “1 year’s seeding brings 5 years weeding”, with associated backache!

If you have sown sprouts, broccoli or kale be ready for the inevitable onset of early Autumn winds. Make sure your roots are well bedded, a little soil up the stem will help them stand firm and a stake to add support is also welcome.

Harvest your crops as soon as they are ready, if you leave them too long they may be bigger but may also become ‘woody’ and lose their flavour.

If you’re interested in an allotment, contact the Secretary of the Salford Allotment Federation at carolyn.collins@me.com
