I made a series of photographs of some 40+ sheds on the allotments for a course project I did just prior to the eviction. They are viewable at www.peterhoare.co.uk and I'm trying to find locations willing to host a show of the pictures (libraries, halls, pubs, galleries, etc) in order to educate/inform people who don't know, what a massively unjust decision it was to destroy such a viable and valuable social and practical resource.Summerboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106648445275223862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671683749697759553.post-89746614121217165032008-02-16T23:28:00.000+00:002008-02-16T23:28:00.000+00:00Living outside of London, I've tried to avoid read...Living outside of London, I've tried to avoid reading or watching anything about the Olympics, that ghastly overblown drugfest that is sucking funds out of the rest of the country. So I've only just come across the story - the tragedy - of the Manor Road Allotments, their destruction and the faecical saga of their relocation. What a story of greed, incompetence and hypocrisy! As an ex-allotment holder (till the arthritis did for my knees) my heart goes out to this small, dispossessed community. Britain moves daily closer to a Stalinist state, all I can say is, thank god I'm old.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342925222828812255noreply@blogger.com
