West End allotments are other side of the A34 Marcham Interchange.The surrounding land looks as if it was once held army huts or something similar.

There is the evidence of tracks leading to buildings that exist no longer, as here where this yellow flowers hug the ground.

The surrounding land is overgrown with: grass, teasle, crab apple trees, and brambles… And at the end of the main track are the allotments.

A report on the Farm and Garden magazine site about allotments regeneration says:The West End Allotment Association have carried out plot clearance, and have been busily promoting the fact on local radio and the local press, especially after receiving the winning plot award in ‘Abingdon in Bloom’ recently.

This publicity has generated interest, from younger people and families, and the association gained 10 new members. They do offer rent free plots for 12 months to new members. The allotments have 96 plots.
