Nostalgia 1970 - Huge turnout at Tory garden fete
We mentioned last week about a garden fete in September 1970 organised by the Grantham Division Conservative Association – and here we have an image from the apparently momentous event.
According to reports in The Standard, over a thousand people visited Leadenham House for the fete.
A beautiful selection of Rolls Royce and Bentley cars were displayed in the gardens.

There were various stalls, such as a roll the penny game.
It seems surprising now that a political party would put on such an event – can you remember it?
