Manor Gardening Society - New Allotments

Marsh Lane, Leyton. Sat 21 June, 2006

      
The Manor Garden allotments were closed down in 2007 and relocated to the Leyton Lammas Lands - already the home of Eton Manor AC

 
But, as in the past, local residents were disturbed by the encroachment on their Lammas Land 
 
The new site is flat and featureless. 
 
  And much of the ground is currently unusable
 
Fortunately the cooks are still a part of Manor Gardens!
 
Live music 
     
and Face painting (I didn't try)  
     


The earth has an unnatural colour and consistency

And much of it is waterlogged

 

Ditches dug to try to drain it
Land on which nothing much grows

But some of the plots are now growing plants
