St Thomas Garden Allotments
The site at South Earl Street was cleared a number of years ago but never developed, largely due to the archaeological significance of the site.
A number of plans were advanced, including a recent proposal to develop an archaeology learning centre on the site. However these haven’t progressed and in order to make positive use of the site and add to the network of green spaces in the area, the decision was made to transform the site to a community allotment.
To mark the significance of the site a new gate includes the name ‘St Thomas Abbey’. The community allotment scheme is a low impact development with a protective membrane, hardcore and raised beds used so as not to disturb potential archaeology beneath. You wont be digging for archaeology here. The allotment includes 17 raised bed allotments, all of which have been let and al of which await plants! The space includes rainwater harvesting and a lockup.
