The remains of these former allotment gardens are visible on aerial photographs of Wyke Regis, taken in 1946 (2). These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, this area having since been built over by modern development.
