THE ALLOTMENT PROJECT

One day it was decided to formally open the allotment in Nutter and Bolter lane, Washstead, Essexshire, and the man who was to cut the tape to formally open the allotment was none other than Mr Peter Bread, a councillor of Redbridge.

To celebrate this achievement it was decided to sing the allotment's anthem, composed by Eddie Manure.


There was a cafe in the allotment - made of horse manure, well set, but it had to be disinfected every time someone entered the cafe because the manure which it was made from often stunk.


The allotment toilets were exposed and consisting of pit latrines behind the shed.
In some cases the allotment sheds did indeed contain toilets, but people who came to the allotment to dig were permitted to carry toilet bowls in their rucksacks, so, in the event of being caught short whilst digging they could take their toilets out of their rucksacks and use them.
