Nostalgic memories of Altofts's local history

Share your own memories of Altofts and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.
