On 16th July 2017, on its Open Day, Hoole Allotments & Gardeners Association (HAGA) celebrated the centenary of the allotment colony.
A section of the street plan of Hoole (see above), taken from Hoole Urban District Council Handbook, 1947, shows the Allotment Gardens. There is an access road from Hoole Lane and access from the junction of Panton Road and Canadian Avenue.
The first ‘four acres plus two roods or thereabouts’ of this land, called Allotments No.1, was leased by the Council from Mr. S. Smith in February 1906. Plot rents were 17 shillings per year, which is about £90 at today’s values.
