Now I know this isn't derelict buildings, but I've recently started documenting abandoned orchards as part of an on-going local history project. I first took some photos of one in 2004, at the back of a local pub in Seaton called The Kings Arms, then recently began seeing others whenever I've been out on other explores. So, I thought I'd share some of the photos.
The Kings Arms, Seaton. Just six trees remaining.
Pump Farm, Whitford. Only two trees left in the field, but there are two or three in the bordering hedges.
There's a close in Seaton which I'd completely forgotten about until around a week ago. It doesn't look much from the outside, just a cluster of houses around a square of trees, but once beneath the trees you can tell by the rows that it used to be an orchard. The name of the close, btw, is called The Orchard (for some strange reason!
).
Cheers
