The Bowdon Downs Potato
Apart from a mention on the
Altrincham History Society websites tour of Altrincham
when it talks about one of the residents of Goose Green,
“James Smith who was a bobbin-turner and grew early Bowdon
Downs potatoes” (there’s that word early again!), we
cannot find a mention of this potato and have not heard
from a single soul – so we’re afraid extinction is looking
like a grim possibility - unless you know otherwise? |
