This is the smallest site with 22 plots, and is probably the most difficult to find and the least visible. From the Washwood Heath Road, access is about 100 metres along St.Margarets Road on the right hand side (Look for numbers 27 and 29 St.Margarets Road). The long narrow access drive starts between a Drinks Express shop and an MOT garage where cars are usually parked during the day, so it’s not obvious there’s an allotment site up the track.
The postcode is B8 2BA, and the site is on Google Maps. The site has a small car park, but not enough spaces to accommodate everyone when the site is busy, so anyone living locally is encouraged to come by foot when you don’t have bulky or heavy items to transport.
Just 3 words reference for the start of the drive giving access to the site is Split Refers Herbs. For the gate to the site at the top of the drive it’s Clouds Sounds Towards.
