About Abbey Gardens / Bakers Row

This is a group to share photos of Abbey Gardens - a community garden developing in the East End of London (UK).

The Gardens are opposite Bakers Row just next to Stratford station train tracks - the area will also have a new DLR station at the end of Bakers Row in 2010. I am the admin for the group & one of two artists (with Karen Guthrie) who have been invited to collaborate on the developing proposals for a garden on this space. It is a tiny 'green' pocket that will escape development due to the archaeological finds under the site. These are remains of the precinct of the Cistercian Abbey of St. Mary Stratford Langthorne, Essex - they are thought to relate to a gatehouse.
