The allotments incorporate Hunger Hill, Stonepit Coppice and Gorseyclose Gardens, together comprising some 700 plots. Together they form a Grade II* Listed Garden https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001479?section=official-list-entry , the reason being that their history goes back as far as the early 17th century. Most such partitioned garden areas disappeared with the expansion of urban areas in the 19th century, and the gardens are considered important both for their history and the extent of the remaining area.
