'Putting Allotments into Perspective' - a Talk by Historian Twigs Way

Twigs will be presenting a fascinating and entertaining talk at Newhampton Arts Centre on Sunday 15th October 2017 as part of the events taking place over the weekend. The talk is set to delve deep into the political and social context of allotments in general from the 18th century to the present day and also closer examine the way in which our very own Boundary Way Allotments and Community Garden in Warstones reflects both wider and local trends. It is a culmination of Twigs' in-depth research and knowledge and months of close work from the Boundary Way Project Team with Twigs to research the origins of our site. A huge part of the research has been the many interviews with plotholders, ex-plotholders and team members that filmmaker and photographer Geoff Broadway has conducted over the recent months. All of which, as well as feeding into this exciting event, will conclude with Geoff putting together a film all about the story of Boundary Way. !Historic Photograph of Boundary Way Allotments & Community Garden |  Historian Twigs Way Historic Photograph of Boundary Way Allotments & Community Garden | Historian Twigs Way[/caption] Twigs Way's free talk is definitely not one to miss and will be a great opportunity to learn more about allotment & garden history, as well as the importance of our wonderful site in the local area.
