Allotment Profiles Beatrix Potter, SW18 Site manager: Mark Hewitt mhtml:file://C:\Users\drothero\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.O... 10/04/2018 Enable Parks: Allotment Updates Page 4 of 20 Credit Mark Hewitt The Beatrix Potter Site is located off Magdelen Road just up from Earlsfield. Situated in the lower Wandle valley the site is characterised by yellow clay overlaid by light sandy loam soil. Initially laid out with 65 five rod plots, the site now offers over 100 smaller plots. Originally the site was arable farmland and was then used as sports field during the First World War. The land has been used for cultivating vegetables since the 1920s when it was managed by the London County Council education movement and was used primarily as test plots. Mark Hewitt says, "I've only been the site manager for a few months having taken over from Margaret who had undertaken the job for a number of years. Margaret is a hard act to follow. Although new to the role of site manager, I have been at the site for over 30 years. In fact, I've been there for so long I have a full plot. It is a very diverse site now with many organic plot holders. It is also good to see children becoming involved with their parents." "When I started we were not allowed to call them allotments because they were 'trial plots'. In those days to obtain a plot you had to join a horticulture class run by the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA). There were classes once a week held in a school and the idea was you had a trial plot to put into effect what you learnt at the class. The reality was I learnt more from reading books and listening to Wally who mhtml:file://C:\Users\drothero\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.O... 10/04/2018 Enable Parks: Allotment Updates Page 5 of 20 had a plot next to me than attending the classes. When the classes were abolished, Wandsworth Council took responsibility for the site. We were then allowed to call them allotments." "Back in the mists of time Beatrix Potter joined with the Sailor Prince Site to form what is now known as the Wandsworth Horticulture Association (WHA). We have a constitution that means we all meet for an Annual General Meeting (AGM) once a year at which we vote in several officers and committee members to run the association until they face the membership the following year. The Committee are responsible for having oversight of the day to day activities of the WHA, but especially the running our annual show which is held in the Earlsfield Baptist Church on the first Saturday in September. Everyone is welcome to attend. This is probably the high point of our season, but we also have an annual BBQ as well as visits to other allotment sites." Garrat Park Allotments, SW18 Site manager: John Hooper and Phil Gardner Credit John Hooper Garratt Park Allotments is the largest allotment site in Wandsworth and borders the River Wandle for half a mile. There are 140 plots on the site, which is split into two by an active rifle range; about 1/3 of the plots are in the north end off Steerforth Street, and 2/3 in the South alongside Garratt Park. Each section also has its own entrance. mhtml:file://C:\Users\drothero\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.O... 10/04/2018 Enable Parks: Allotment Updates Page 6 of 20 The site was originally a garden belonging to the owner of the old Garratt Mill by the Trewint Street bridge. In 1917 the land was turned into allotments to help alleviate the food crisis brought on by the First World War. The original Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth subsequently acquired the land to use it as a depot, but shortly after it was reverted to allotments because of the Second World War, with allotments spreading to cover much of Garratt Park during this time. John Hooper says,"I have been a lifelong veg gardener from childhood on to the present (I am now 80) and an allotmenteer most of my adult life. I have been on Garratt Park for about 25 years and Site Manager for about 14 years, recently handing over management of the north side of the site to Phil Gardner. I find the site especially attractive as it borders the River Wandle and is tucked in behind Garratt Park. We have a large and varied community with wide ranging ages and cultural backgrounds. With the varied habitat between the park, the allotment site and the river we enjoy a particularly rich variety of birdlife." Herlwyn Gardens Allotments, SW17 Site manager: Dave Cleal Herlwyn Allotments consists of nine plots and is situated in the middle of a small housing estate in Tooting with access only possible by foot. The allotments were formed just after the estate was built in the 1950s. David Cleal says, "On the allotment Jan and I like to grow mostly soft fruit, the usual vegetable suspects and occasional exotic experiments, the last with variable success. Last year it was Ocas. We've been on the site for 12 (or so) years, but which crops work in which year is still quite mysterious to us. When away from the allotment, I write computer programs for a living." King George's Park Allotments, SW18 Site manager: Andrew Puxley With around 56 plots, King George’s Park Allotment is situated between Southfields Academy and the Territorial Army and King George’s Park, with views across the park to the River Wandle. There is a fine and fertile soil as a result of the river alluvium. An unusual feature of the site is that each plot has its own shed. Andrew Puxley has been site manager for around 12 years and has had a plot for about 20 years, managing one of the few remaining four and half rod plots. The plots holders are mostly comprised of local people who live in Southfields and there is a committee of 11 people who meet once a month. It is a very social site with the committee securing a grant last year to convert half a plot into a recreation space. There are several social occasions throughout the year including BBQs in the summer and a Christmas Party. A local church is holding a service in the allotment in June and the allotments provided produce for mhtml:file://C:\Users\drothero\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.O... 10/04/2018 Enable Parks: Allotment Updates Page 7 of 20 the Abundance Festival held at St Barnabas Church last autumn.

  • Introduction
    Official WANDSWORTH BOROUGH COUNCIL BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST INTRODUCTION The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is required to compile lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest for the guidance of local planning authorities. Conservation policies are often based on the lists, which are being revised within nationally applied surveys of specific building types. How Buildings are Chosen The principles of selection for these lists were originally drawn up by an expert committee of architects, antiquarians and historians, and are still followed, although now adapted to thematic surveys and Post-War buildings. Buildings that qualify for listing are:- (a) All buildings before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition. (b) Most buildings between 1700-1840, though some selection is necessary. (c) Between 1840 and 1914 only buildings of definite quality and character, the selection being designed to include the best examples of particular building types. (d) Selected buildings from the period after 1914 are selected on the same basis. (e) Buildings under 30 years old (but more than ten) are normally listed only if they are of outstanding quality and under threat. In choosing buildings, particular attention is paid to:- � Special value within certain types, either for architectural or planning reasons or as illustrating social and economic history (for instance, industrial buildings, railway stations, schools, hospitals, prisons, theatres). � Technological innovation or virtuosity (for instance cast iron, prefabrication, or the early use of concrete). � Group value, especially as examples of town planning (for instance, squares, terraces or model estates). � Association with well-known characters or events.

  • The Burial Grounds of Putney London SW15
    1 The Burial Grounds of Putney London SW15 Introduction The chronology of Putney’s burial grounds is broadly as follows: St Mary’s Church, Putney Bridge: 12th/13th century to 1763. Putney Old Burial Ground (POBG), Upper Richmond Road: 1763 to 1854. Putney Lower Common Cemetery (PLCC), Mill Hill Road: 1855 to 1891. Putney Vale Cemetery (PVC), Kingston Road: 1891 to present. Closure dates are nominal and burials took place later, e.g. in family graves or in special circumstances. They continued at St Mary’s, in the churchyard (in large numbers) until 1854 and inside the church until 1863; in POBG until 1900; and in PLCC until the 1950s – even as late as 1975. St Mary’s Church The parish church was Putney’s only burial 1797 ground for some 500 years. St Mary’s is not mentioned by name until c. 1290, though there may have been a church or chapel of ease (a satellite of St Mary’s Wimbledon) on the site as early as the 12th century. Nothing remains of those early churches and the oldest part of the present building is the tower, which dates from c. 1450. St Mary’s was severely damaged by a storm in 1703, was rebuilt, apart from the tower, in 1836, and extensively damaged by an arson-started fire during the night of 6th/7th June 1973, with only the walls, columns and, again, the 15th century tower surviving. Rebuilding, to a design by Ronald Sims, with the altar, unusually, on the north side and stained glass by Alan Younger (who also designed the stained glass above the entrance to Putney Exchange) was completed in 1982.

  • Transport Information
    GeneralTransport Information Local Information Getting to the Fields: This venue is very easy to reach by public transport. Get a train to Putney station or a tube to East Putney. If you go to East Putney station, you need to walk towards Putney High street to find Putney station and the bus. Come out of East Putney tube and turn left. Walk along Upper Richmond Road until you reach a large set of traffic lights at a cross road. Turn right and you will see Putney train station and the bus stop on your right. Map below. http://tinyurl.com/329zqqk Directly outside of Putney station on the same side of the road, is a bus stop where the 85 heads straight to the fields. Get on the 85 and it will head out of Putney and onto the back roads alongside the A3 dual carriageway. Stay on the bus until it reaches a T junction with the A3. It will turn right here and then you need to wait until the bus has passed Asda supermarket and Texaco on the left and get off at the Roehampton Campus stop. The fields are there on your left. http://tinyurl.com/34ucywm You can get to Putney quickly from Clapham Junction, Vauxhall, Waterloo and also to Putney East on the District line (Green). You should be able to reach the grounds easily from places like Kingston (e.g. using the #85 in the opposite direction) and Wimbledon but please check. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ Planned Engineering Works: It seems that there are no real problems on the lines that will be used by people attending this event.
