In the later phase of the pandemic, pubs that had had to close invested in creating outdoor space so that they could safely serve socially-distanced patrons.

Odibourne Allotments, Manor Road, Kenilworth

The allotments were open to the public for the Heritage Open Days 2021 and Edible England events; members of the Kenilworth Allotment Tenants' Association (KATA) can be seen welcoming visitors. The Odibourne site was established in 1919, when Kenilworth Urban District Council bought land from the estate of the deceased William Thomas Pears. The council had recently decided to build on the 'Noah's Ark' allotments nearby, but was obliged under the 1908 Smallholding & Allotments Act to provide sufficient land for local people who wanted plots for growing food. The site is owned today by Kenilworth Town Council, but has been managed since 1983 by KATA (information taken from a notice board on the site).

Plot 58a, Odibourne Allotments, Kenilworth

These allotments, which to this city dweller appear impossibly idyllic, were open to the public for the Heritage Open Days 2021. Behind the idyll, of course, lies hard work and long term commitment, the challenge of group politics, the uncertainty of the weather and the threat, even here, of theft and vandalism. The Odibourne allotments were established in 1919.

No doubt flooding is another hazard of allotment life here, but the stream must have enriched the fertility of the valley over the years. Not normally accessible to the public, the allotments were open as part of the Heritage Open Days 2021 and Edible England events.
