Bounded by Cranmer Avenue and Old Shoreham Road in the south, Hove Park School to the east, Holmes Avenue to the west and Nevill Avenue in the north. They have been allotments in the area since the 1890s once stretching from Nevill Road in the east to Elm Drive in the west and Nevill Road and Court Farm Road in the north, however, building developments have gradually dimished the size, Nevill Avenue's construction in the north in 1932 halved the size, housing in the 1970s plus schools and hospitals have reduced the number of plots to the current 336. This still makes it possibly the largest allotment in Brighton and Hove.
