  When I was 13, (late 70&apos;s) I tried to take over an allotment which was clearly abandoned but authorities &nbsp;said I wasn&apos;t old enough and it was still registered to someone, so I went to council office everyday begging for it, eventually (2 weeks later) they were so tired of me they said OK! I kept a section for chickens grew veg on the rest. I would be there till dark most days, I loved having my little bit of england.

  You may find when you get through to the low brick structure, that it is a cold frame. You have your work cut out for you,looking forward to seeing the progress.

  As an allotment holder who also took over a very overgrown plot, the best advice I was given was not to try to do everything at once. &nbsp; Plan priorities like getting rid of rubbish, finding and clearing pathways and then you can see the size of the plot properly and what needs to be done. &nbsp;One job at a time and it&apos;ll soon be looking amazing.

  wow amazing site so much potential but definitely need to clear one building (one with glasses to stay warm and dry in and crack on with the outside while the weather iis kind. Speak to somewhere like the black country museum who might want some of the old containers and get the roofs checked for asbestos.

  Many men of a certain age- i.e. who lived through a world war will have stashes like this- when you are brought up to make do and mend and when raw materials let alone manufactured goods were rationed, you kept things just in case. <br><br>It&apos;s really nice that you have a record of the plot as it is and I&apos;m sure you&apos;ll make it into the plot it used to be. Some of those old items in the shed are museum pieces and some probably made from brass.

  Just found your channel and loving seeing the potential- as someone who sells old stuff for a living, I can see value in the old tins and bottles. Even the fairy liquid bottle 😊
