Walton Tales

Folllowing my post of yesterday when I was struggling with poor Internet connection and managed to post an incorrect URL for the Walton Archive.

Good news everyone – my Old Walton Archive has risen like a phoenix from the flames.

To continue with Brian Hicks’ archive of football teams in Walton.

A few years ago the late Brian Hicks shared his fantastic collection of images of Walton-on-the-Naze football teams with me.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who when a house previously owned comes up for sale the temptation to look at the Estate Agent’s online details is irresistible.

Today, January 1st, I celebrated my 80th Birthday and every one of them in Walton.

My Old Walton Photo Archive has been offline for a while.

Today the postman surprised me with a card-backed envelope which contained a true ‘blast from the past’.

I always knew it wouldn’t last forever, nothing ever does.

Recently I have been very fortunate to be given access to a superb collection of Old Walton photographs .
