This runs between orchards to Porter's Lane. Judging from the charred post on the left and pile of rubble, they have had some trouble from the burning of stolen vehicles here.

Dist:0.2km<br/>More than half of this square is orchards. The nearby Plumford oast suggests that in the past there were hop gardens here.

Dist:0.3km<br/>I imagine square oasts are easier to furnish than round ones. Much of this square is now orchards but the presence of this large oast house suggests it used to be hop-growing country.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The poplar hedge on the right acts as a windbreak for the orchard enclosed by it. Plumford oast http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/397307 (now converted) in the distance suggests this was once hop-growing country.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This narrow strip of fruit trees (just the one row) seems to contain several different types of extremely small apples. It lies south of Porter's Lane with the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale just across the road so perhaps it is associated with it.
