Samuel Moore’s jam factory was a legacy of the fruit fields. It began in a small way early in the twentieth century after an earlier venture had closed, and became a major employer in the area, with 100 staff in 1972. An extension was opened in 1985, but the whole enterprise closed during the 1990s, and visitors to the village are no longer greeted by the all-pervading aroma of warm strawberry jam.
Took a trip inside in December 2013, not much left of the place now, decay well and truly setting in.
Left my 5DIII at home so only iPhone pics i'm afraid but took the flying camera for a bit of aerial action.
Thanks for looking!
Aerial video coming soon
