The Site
Alric Avenue Allotments occupies a substantial site in New Malden to the West of the southern part of New Malden Golf Course and the A3 and just to the north of the railway line which forms the main route from London (Waterloo) to Southampton and the West Country. It is bounded on the north side by Cambridge Avenue and by Rosebery Avenue to the west.
The site is flourishing and all of the 151 plots are currently let. Most plot holders live locally, no more than a few minutes walk or drive from the site, but there are a few who have been tempted to join us from their homes in Central London and who describe the site as ‘their little place in the country’.
The area is fully enclosed and accessible only by means of two padlocked entrances. All subscribing members are issued with keys to the site on payment of a small deposit.
Please note that we have instituted a one-way system and would ask that all plotholders who bring vehicles onto the site follow the anti-clockwise direction of this. When you have unloaded, please park in the car park near the Cambridge Road entrance.
To dig one's own spade into one's own earth!
Has life anything better to offer than this?
