Monument record MDO23085 - Allotment Gardens, Wyke Regis, Weymouth

Allotment Gardens, first shown on an Ordnance Survey map of 1930 (not on earlier maps). By the OS map of 1938 these have been incorporated into the adjacent sewage works as 'sludge beds'. The remains of these former allotment gardens are visible on aerial photographs of Wyke Regis, taken in 1946.

The remains of these former allotment gardens are visible on aerial photographs of Wyke Regis, taken in 1946 (2). These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, this area having since been built over by modern development.
