Allotments in Leeds

[pudseydeb]

Please help. I am researching hidden allotments in Leeds. I know that on some council estates there were allotments enclosed within a square of council owned housing. I have seen a photo that prove this. It was taken from a tower block. Unfortunately I have lost the picture. Does anyone have a copy of it or proof that these hidden sites existed. Thank you.

Thank You I have looked at Leodis and Flickr. Going to search via google image. Do you know of any other sites on the internet that may have images of Leeds.

Somewhere in my files I have lists of old allotments in Seacroft Crossgates Manston and surrounding areas, but no photographs. Should I find them for you, or do you only want photographs.

Thank you I would appreciate that, no hurry as I will not be researching the seacroft area until next year.

Just for clarification - Are you only interested in the type of "hidden" allotments you describe, surrounded by council houses? Also are you only interested in allotments where there is a photo ( past or present)?

Hi At the moment I am looking for a specfic photograph of an allotment site enclosed within a square of council houses. The estate is not yet fully built and the photograph was taken from a tower block. I have lost the link to it, but I have a feeling that I first saw it on here. I am interested in other Leeds allotments and I hope to start researching them next year, after I have finished this section I am working on now. Thank you for your interest.
