Histon village allotments
 |
Planting time for the girl's pumpkins. The seeds were free (for children only) from 'Organic Gardening' magazine, intended to encourage an early interest in gardening. |
Gatehouse Road
Allotments are managed by Histon parish council, situated on the outskirts
of Histon, on the Girton - Oakington road. There 22 plots, 45% occupied (unoccupied plots
are ploughed at least once a year). No water supply but very reasonable rent (£6 per plot
a year) compensates for this. Gatehouse Road allotments plotholders e-mail contact : gatehouseroad@allotments.net
Meadow Road
Allotments are rumoured to be well used, situated on the old Cottenham road, the
site is also managed by the parish council.
