View from the top of "Cherry Hill" The oast house centre left is <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/773444">TQ7740 : The Oast House, Cradducks Farm, Goudhurst Road, Staplehurst, Kent</a>. The grid square boundary between the featured square and the view point square runs through the arable field just beyond the grassland in the foreground. This area of Kent is still famous for its cherry production although the extent of the orchards is much reduced as are the hop fields which supported the hop drying industry evidenced by the numerous oast houses in the area, many of which have been converted to other uses. This view is taken from the top of the field opposite the house I lived in during the 1950s which was then a cherry orchard. It was commonly known as Cherry Hill although that name doesn't appear to have been recorded on the maps. Sadly the many cherry orchards here have long disappeared and this field is now fallow. It is, however, a nesting site for skylarks and is carefully watched over by the occupant of my old home.
