David Hannah, chairman of the Cumberland Basin Horticultural Society, will describe how the large number of allotments came into being on what was once a spur of the Regent's Canal, what happened to the surroundings of the basin during the second world war and how the allotments are managed now. The talk will be given in the Cumberland Estate Tenants' Hall and will be succeeded by a guided tour of the allotments which surround it.
The hall is most easily reached by the C2 bus. Alight at the stop "Cumberland Terrace" on Albany Street. Turn into Redhill Street (postcode NW1 4BG in case you are coming by taxi equipped with SatNav) and go under the archway straight ahead. The single-storey prefab Tenants' Hall is just to the left. Alternatively, by car, drive down Park Village East and park at the lower end of it (free after 6:30 pm) and take the path immediately to the left of cream-stucco Richmond House. This leads directly to the gate of the allotments, and the Hall where the meeting will take place is just inside, to the left. |
