Grow Heathrow Open Day

Sipson, London. Sat 8 Sep 2012


 
 I was given a tour including the large 'wild' area of the site which has not been reclaimed for cultivation

 but some of the long term residents have built themselves shelters

 The interior of one of these

 Others still sleep in tents, like this one under a ruined greenhouse.

 A decorated window for the new long building

 Its interior with staw bales for seating. Virtually all the material comes from the site or is given free by locals

 There is a large store for scrap material reclaimed from the site - though they got the council to remove 30 tons
of rubbish that had been dumped on the site when they moved in,

The shower uses a radiator heated by a wood fire to heat the water. They also have a hot water tap elsewhere
heated by a sawdust heap.

  Comfortable seating - all 'rubbish' thrown out from homes
 
The exterior of the cabin used as sitting room and office 

 

A notice for the open day 

The main gate
