A closer view of the Kings Seeds site top left. Behind and to the right of the 'L' shaped warehouse is a row of four terraced cottages called Orchard Cottages. These were built to serve the silk mill and originally called Factory Cottages. Running left to right at the top of the photo is a brick wall, the Crouches footpath runs behind it. To the left another wall runs up to join it and this was once the west wall of the old silk mill and kept as a garden wall between the Kings trial ground on the right and the garden of Orchard House on the left.
