As you can tell these images of the Drayton Road allotment site are not completely up to date. They were taken in January, but while I’m on the theme of allotments, and since the gates were locked when I visited, these will have to do.

These form the smallest allotments, located next to the sewage works. Until recently they were under utilised. Half the area was fenced off to find an alternative use – a use that does not preclude their return to being allotments. This brought plots closer together and has led to more plots being taken up.
