One of three simple caches on a neglected path in the parish of Hal stead, named after 3 young members of our family. The soil is clay, so the path gets sticky after rain.
This end of the footpath starts from the Old London Road. It runs across a field that was being cropped for some sort of brassica in March. Sheep and cattle are not far away in adjoining fields. This area is still farmed and in the 19th century, with the growth of the London fruit market, Halstead became famous for strawberries. Indeed, the fields and fruit-pickers' huts are depicted in one of the south windows of St Margaret's Church in the village. There were also at one time many orchards, remnants of which may still be seen, for example within the grounds of the former Broke Hill golf course. Fruit growing peaked before World War 1, and its decline accelerated in the late 20th century.
Anyway, enough waffle. You are looking for a hanging pot.
