DOG walkers in and around Binstead will likely remember Valda Wakeley and her long line of corgis. Mrs Wakeley was a familiar sight in and around Binstead throughout the 1950s through to 2006 when she moved to join her son Tim and his wife Maria in Spencer Close, Ryde. Mrs Wakeley established her hairdressing salon at the village forge, at the bottom of Binstead Hill, in the late 1950s, supported by her mother Hilda who worked as assistant and receptionist. Mrs Wakeley eventually worked mornings only at the salon, with Kay Palmer working afternoons. Kay took over the salon full time in 1990.
