Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Many acres of the horticultural land surrounding Sheffield in the late-eighteenth century were utilised as allotment gardens. Provincial town histories, apart from those of Birmingham (where small gardens were often different in character), make little or no mention of anything similar for this period. The paper makes the case for Sheffield being the first to experience workers' gardens en masse and demonstrates that there may have been, on a cautious calculation, 1,500 to 1,800 allotments available for rent in the town in the 1780s. | ||||||
