Allotments, Canterbury, 1965

The allotments are no longer there - they have been built over with housing around the line of Old Watling Street, and the terraces on St Peter's Grove on the left now join onto the new estate. As with the allotments, I think wherever I was standing when I took this has also changed fundamentally - I suspect it is now Rheims Way. However, the cathedral is still there.
