Dist:0.7km north<br/>A rare example of a Peter Brotherhood inverted vertical compound (enclosed) engine. Built in 1930/1 it was used in steam laundries in Chatham and Cambridge and passed through another nursery to reach here in 1972 where it was used until the mid 1980s. It is now under a tarpaulin at the Cambridge Museum of Technology.

Dist:0.8km east<br/>Three roads meet in the centre of this hamlet. This one - Hamlet Hill - has bungalows either side. Perhaps planning policy forbids two-storey developments here on top of the hill?

Dist:0.8km south<br/>On Bumble's Lane between Nazeing and Lower Nazeing. The Lea Valley centred around Roydon-Nazeing is an area of traditional market gardens that were developed in the postwar years to provide salad crops for the London markets thirty miles away. Now the nurseries have diversified into all kinds of horticulture.
