About this audio guide
This guide to Andreashof, a hidden residents' garden off the Springweg in Utrecht, is about what a neighbourhood is worth when nobody wants it. It moves through the nineteen sixties and seventies, when planners eyed this quarter for a road, and an artist sketched its boarded-up streets in winter. Best heard on the bench-quiet lawn inside the iron gate, away from the lane.
