  • How did a wartime blackout lead to a new gate on Long’s Field?
  • How was a rubbish dump turned into an allotment?
  • What crops were grown in 1917 and how do they compare with today?
  • What wildlife is found on our allotments and what does sustainability mean?
  • What awards and prizes were won by the Association and its members?
  • How did 2 marrows lead to a prison sentence?
  • When was H&DAA the largest Allotment Association in Bristol?
  • What campaign initiatives did H&DAA champion?
