The secret gardens in the back alleys of Welford Street have existed for many years, but were limited to permanent structures, difficult to steal or vandalise. The regeneration of Charlestown resulted in Welford Street's alley gates, which allowed an existing gardening community to flourish, particularly to the west end of the street.
