Inventory Site Record

In 1904 the area here was mostly fields and Brentfield to the east was then known as Dog Lane. By 1935 the site was surrounded by housing development, but the Old Orchard is tucked away, accessed by a path between houses from Stonebridge Park. On the site are mature pear trees presumably from the former orchard, as well as birch and sycamore trees.
