Reg Hawkins, Manor Garden allotment holder
Colour pigment photographic print of Reg Hawkins, a plotholder at Manor Garden Allotments in Hackney Wick, 2007. Reg first came to the allotments when he was 8 or 9 as his father had a plot there. The allotments were closed during the war but in 1948 Reg took his own half plot, eventually increasing to two plots. In 2007 the plotholders were evicted to make way for the Olympic Park. This photograph was taken as part of a project to document the site of the London 2012 Olympic Games prior to its closure for redevelopment in July 2007.
