On September 23, Manor Garden Allotments will be bulldozed to make way for a pathway for the Olympic Games in 2012. The site in Hackney Wick, next to the River Lee, has been there for 100 years and was originally bequeathed as a gift to local people to grow their own food. The local community is now scattered and has lost a great resource. Over the past year, film maker Mark Aitken and a group of teenagers have produced a film in tribute to the plot-holders and this special place.
