These allotments are first depicted on the 1923 OS map as an extension to the slightly earlier gardens which were formerly sited just to the west. The allotments originally extended to the north before the construction of Parkway Wholesale Markets between 1954 and 1968. The exterior boundaries of this polygon fossilise boundaries first established by piecemeal enclosure of open strip fields (interpretation based on 1851 OS plan form) sometime in the early post-medieval period. Partial legibility record reflects both this and the apparent survival and conditional of allotment plots and buildings.
