Viewed from the NE corner of the allotments, which are located on the south side of Capel Crescent, one of 22 allotment sites owned by Newport City Council. Residents of the city may apply to the council to rent an allotment plot, to be used for growing vegetables, flowers, etc. The blanket of snow helps reduce heat loss from the soil and maintains a higher temperature underneath than would be the case if the allotments were bare.
