Pictures of Kightley's Orchard
behind the cottages on the bank that look down the Grafton road as it was in the 1960s,
most of this is now new housing. Thanks to Bert for the loan of slides
Part of the orchard looking down towards the cottages
Everyone helps gathering in
Bert Kightley storing the apples
Everyone lends a hand at harvest time
Bert Kightley packs away the apples that are collected


PEAR TREE COTTAGE AND ORCHARD




Here is another orchard that has been built on, it was where the bungalows opposite Kerry Farm are sited. I am not sure when it was last a productive orchard but chickens were kept in there when Covingtons were at Kerry farm. Mr George Swain who was the tenant at the time of the sale moved out of the village in October 1914, soon after the sale, I have no idea who bought it.
