Might see you in your trading hut one Sunday morning, then! As we haven't got one ourselves, quite a few of our plotholders are members of Newton Park.

Hold on a minute... you're not the Trevor I know, with the amazing ears and rides a bike? :)

Trevor_D · « **Reply #42 on:** March 27, 2008, 16:15:52 »

Not guilty - haven't ridden a bike since I was a teenager. (But I think I've met the other guy in your hut.)

Ah, ok, sorry! Yes, there's another Trevor, very nice guy too. Maybe see you down there too one day!

Yes Barnowl, we're pretty lucky where we are. There are downsides though - when the wall that seperates us from the park blew down last year, we had some unwelcome visitors. Have you ever seen the havoc a herd of deer can wreak??

That must have been chaotic... venison stew anyone?

East Finchley. There are about 180 plots on the site, a couple of streams (lots of frogs), woods behind, another allotment site (the Fuel Lands) next to that and Marylebone Cemetery next to that. So we are part of a huge "lung" in the mioddle of a heavily built up area. Fantastic! ;)

No - I know the ones you mean but we're the Kingston side of Bushy Park. We're back to back with the Hampton Wick Royal Cricket Club. Our entrance is on Park Road, Teddington.

Another vote for Barnet here - Hospital Fields Allotments in Cricklewood, near Brent Cross shopping centre (that's why I've been saying my plot's in Brent for the last three years - d'oh!)

;D

My Great Grandfather had a plot in Finchley ,they were(are?) called 'The rough lots' I Google Earthed Finchley and what alot of plots/sites hoping to pin point it one day.

I wonder if your great grandfather's plot was on the Fuel Lands, next to Marylebone Cemetery on East Finchley High Road? I've a feeling they used to be called the rough lots. There is another site next to the Fuel Lands called East Finchley allotments (my site).

Hi Paul Long I will ask my mum, she remembers a cemetery and we tried to find it on google earth she was trying to find a swimming pool that was close but now you have a name Fuel Lands that might mean something.Cheers for the info.

Sounds promising. A popular open air swimming pool (Finchley Lido) was just over the North Circular from Marylebone Cemetery and the Fuel Lands. There is still a swimming pool there, but not open air any more, and most of the site is taken up by a cinema complex, bowling alley and fast food joints.

Evening Paul ,mum,me and google have found the plots they are the next lot north of you so yes just over the north circular. I think(?) a chap has written a book about Barnet allotments must have a look.
Cheers.

You may already know by now that the Rough Lots are another name for the Glebe Lands. The site is now occupied by the Wingate and Finchley Foootball Club off Summers Lane.
