This blue commemorative plaque records: Bill Sowerbutts (1911-1990) broadcaster and market gardener. Bill became a very talented vegetable grower from an early age. He rose to fame in 1947 with his regular appearances on the famous radio show "Gardeners Question Time" which he did for 36 years. Bill loved his 10 acre wildlife garden here at his home in 'Etherow Lodge'. This garden was transferred to Tameside Council in 1984 for the public to enjoy. Recorded plaque organisation: Tameside Metropolitan Borough.
