The site dates back to the early 1800s, when fresh food was grown here for the city. The buildings have since been used as various factories, including a brewery, furniture makers, and a road haulage company. The present small farm was established in 1984 as a community project.

Who'd have thought such a beauiful place would exist in Tower Hamlets. Just lovely and so much wonderful history.

Many Thanx, Ttl!

There is beauty and harmony everywhere you look. You just need open vision (and, perhaps, Google?) to help you along. This place is an awesome testament to the local community, a great "lesson" and template to many others, and, of course, can offer a valuable continuation of local history. I wanted for, so long, to visit this place, and was not at all disappointed when I did.

So glad you found this, and you liked, Ttl. :-))
