Nottingham’s Hidden Garden
The History of St Ann’s Heritage Gardens

St Ann’s Heritage Gardens (or the Hungerhill Gardens as they are sometimes known) are the oldest of Nottingham’s allotments sites; established around 1835 they are probably the oldest and largest in Europe. They are a rare survival of a type of hedged gardens, found just outside the centre of industrial towns, which were once common in the 19th century. Their unique history and heritage has been recognised as a Grade 2* listed site.

We are planning a couple of events at St Anns Library to talk about the gardens and capture local people’s memories of the site.
