Just some broken glass which turned out to be a bit of a pane.

;D

I've dug up lots of little bits of different coloured glass and I've put them in an upturned plastic bottle over the years. When I get enough think I might have a go at making signs of my plot numbers.

Over 200 hen eggs buried in a huge mound on one plot we had ! someone on site fed the foxes trays of eggs and they hid them on our plot ! had to be very careful digging then up cos they stunk !

A hill fort, apparently. Perhaps we were in the practice target area!

The first plot had a "compost heap" which turned out to be a third of a wartime Morrison Shelter. The other plot had the remaining two-thirds, half-buried in the ground.

But apart from that, the usual load of broken glass & convolvulous.

(I have a theory: she said to to him, "I've got no use for it here - take it down the allotment.")

No, more like.........

She said "get rid of that" and he thought "hmm, that might come in handy, I'll take it down the allotment"

If I found anything stranger than me on the plot I think you'd all be very scared....

2 ironing boards, dug up a rotted bag of broken bathroom tiles, and two taps compolete with piping........also dug up an old silver spoon with an army crest on, apparently cavalry used to exercise their horses on the land where our allotments are, so I have visions of it being an officers cup of char spoon!

There was a complete bathroom suite (in bits) where the greenhouse is now on Plot 52... ???

Not an allotment find. Our house is an ex farmhouse surrounded by what was very lumpy bumpy cow pasture so we'd had a chap with a bulldozer come and make a flat area behind the house for a terrace and a path leading up to the new vegetable plot which is 3' higher, dig out a pond for drainage and smooth out the remaining area ready for grass and borders.

The following spring he came witha big machine to riddle the soil prior to grass sowing and unearthed a land mine.

We don't do deep digging.

when I came to the top of the allotment waiting list I was offered the choice of two, one had an old cess pit 'somewhere' on it, needless to say I took the other plot, wouldn't fancy 'finding' that by accident! :o
