Monument record TQ 77 SW 1142 - A small group of allotments can be seen on aerial photographs taken in 1945
Summary
A small group of allotments can be seen on aerial photographs taken in 1945. These allotments were partly situated on the remains of an abandoned brickworks (NMR 1545585) and were possibly created as part of the Dig for Victory campaign that was introduced in September 1940. This campaign encouraged people to produce their own food in response to the wartime shortages.The area is now occupied by a Hilltop Primary School and the houses of Hilltop Road. They were mapped form aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project.
