Description:

The 5.5-acre site was set aside for allotment use in 1926, allowing some 107 plots to be made available for an annual rent. Plot holders of many nationalities work the site, which is reflected in the produce they grow and the methods they use.

The Paddock Horticultural Society was founded in 1959 to purchase and sell stock to tenants on the Paddock Allotments Site on Cannon Hill Common. The society became responsible for running the site in 1991. Since then it has built a garage, fitted out its clubhouse, shop, kitchen, office and workshop, improved drainage, laid hard standing, created a gazebo area and provided extra gates. The society also runs an active social programme.
