"An oasis in the city": The allotment and its cat helping people get through the lockdown
People who use an allotment in Birmingham say it's provided an oasis of calm during lockdown.
The Walsall Road allotments in Perry Barr sit in the shadow of the new Alexander Stadium.
They had been under threat in 2019 but were saved after a campaign spearheaded by its most famous resident - Robert the allotment cat.
People from more than 20 countries around the world are represented on the site.
ITV Central spent a day talking to some of them, who say the allotments provide a welcome distraction from the outside world.
The allotment's most famous resident is Robert - a black cat.
He's amassed a social media following of more than 30,000 fans and spends his days getting to know plot owners as well as other cats who visit.
Crops and vegetables have been grown on the site since the early twentieth century.
The site is owned by Birmingham City Council and is managed by a committee of unpaid volunteers.
