All images taken on a vacant lot on the corner of Willis and Manners Streets, on the site of the Roxy Cinema before construction of a new arcade. Part of a public art project "Vacant lot of cabbages" by contemporary artist Barry Thomas. Barry Thomas planted 180 cabbages illegally on a privately owned site spelling the word "Cabbage"". . A pile of topsoil is seen in frames 1 and 6, with young trees ready to be planted after the cabbages were fully grown. Spectators are seen in most of the images with St. Mary of the Angels (frame 3) and Hotel St George (frames 4, 6 & 7) seen in the background. Barry Thomas is seen handing out papers apparently showing the site in frame 3, and another young man is seen handing out papers entitled "Vacant Lot of Cabbages" (frame 12). Several young people are seen eating (possibly some form of cabbage salad (frames 8 & 9) with a table full of fully-grown cabbages seen in frame 11.
