Allotments
Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb. All fruit and vegetables taste better when you've grown
them yourself, and picked them fresh from the ground.
Shadwell has six small allotments behind the
Recreation Centre on Holywell Lane, managed by Shadwell Parish Council. The land was cleared
and improved in 2002, and has mains water, rabbit protection and a land drain. There is a
lot of camaraderie amongst the allotmenteers, coordinating supplies of manure, swapping
plants, and holding a Summer BBQ. They also supply compost to Shadwell In Bloom, and some of
the produce is exhibited at Shadwell Flower Show.

Playground
There is a children's playground on Holywell Lane.
