Histon village allotments
 |
Sweetcorn growing at Gatehouse Road. Wayne Millard uses a bed system, adding manure and organic matter to build up fertility. This year is his first full season. The plot is enclosed by chicken wire to keep out the rabbits. |
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.
