A group of Second World War allotments can be seen on aerial photographs taken in 1946. These allotments were situated along the northern edge of the playing field off East Milton Road, centred on TQ 6598 7373. These allotments were 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 had been returned to the playing field by 1951. This site was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project.(1-2)
