The allotments at Butts Meadow were created in October 1914. It seems a bit odd, considering the war had just started, but it was no doubt at the end of long negotiation.
Later in the war, the value of allotments and their produce was very high.
Our allotments hit their centenary

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
