Fields off Billington Bank, Stafford A view of fields from an unnamed lane off the brow of Billington bank near Stafford. On the horizon in the distance is 'The Keep', a block of flats on the Highfields Estate in Stafford. There used to be a second block but that was brought down and new housing built.

Farmland near Stafford Castle Looking across fields towards the M6 motorway with Stafford castle sat high on its hill and motte in the distance. The large white buildings to the left are the industrial units of Primepoint 14 by Junction 14. The polytunnels are a part of a strawberry farm that attracts droves of eastern European fruitpickers each summer.

Silage time The massed polytunnels below Bury Ring protect huge numbers of strawberry plants and are just a small proportion of those in the area. In the fruit-picking season Stafford becomes filled with Polish and other eastern European workers.
