Sandling Road

The Sandling Road allotment site was in past times a brick field on the outskirts of Maidstone.  During Victorian times the site was used to dispose of the town's household waste, and it is not unusual when cultivating on the site to unearth items such as china and bottles.

The soil is free draining and the type varies across the site, reflecting both the brick field excavations and various soil imported during its time as a Victorian landfill site.
