We have blogged about the treatment of the Manor gardens allotments before, to make way for the Olympics, anyway according to the BBC a student is doing some art thing about their plight.

Memories and stories from allotment holders in east London have been used to reconstruct their community shed for an art exhibition.

Artist Thomas Pausz, who built the hut from reclaimed materials, took his inspiration from members of the Manor Garden Allotments in Hackney Wick.

The shed will stand next to the Royal Albert Hall in west London and house an exhibition about allotment life.

Manor Garden Allotments was closed last year to make way for the 2012 Olympics.

The original shed formed the hub of the 100-year-old community which stood by the River Lea.

If anyone is around Royal Albert Hall please take a photo and pop it up on flickr and let me know, would like to see it

UPDATE:
Onemanandhisdig has a picture in their familiar named post.
