About Mossley Hollins Allotments
High on the hillside above Mossley, near the Hollins area, these allotments command panoramic views across the Tame Valley towards Ashton and Manchester beyond. At nearly 250 metres elevation, this is one of the highest allotment sites in Tameside, and the heavy Pennine clay combined with the exposed position creates genuinely demanding growing conditions. The steep, terraced plots are bounded by drystone walls, and the committed group of plot holders takes pride in producing good crops despite the challenging environment.
Mossley Hollins' dedicated plot holders rely on PGT Repairs for machinery that must perform in some of the toughest allotment conditions in Greater Manchester. Paul provides specific advice on equipment selection for upland sites and maintains the group's shared rotavator with the enhanced servicing schedule that hillside clay work demands. The thirteen-minute drive to Hyde ensures quick access when equipment fails mid-season.
Mossley Hollins Allotments is just 5 miles from Paul's workshop in Hyde. Most allotment holders drop off equipment and collect it within a day or two — often the same day for straightforward repairs like spark plug replacement or carburettor cleaning.

The steep terrain and heavy soil place extreme demands on all machinery. Rotavator clutches and drive belts wear rapidly on the inclines, strimmers fight dense hillside grass, and mowers need robust drive mechanisms to cope with the gradients. Engine performance is affected by the elevation.
