Four orchard plots are recorded in fields around Colcharton House, between Gunnislake and Tavistock, from aerial photographs RAF540/483/F20/4196-7.

By recording the extent of the Tamar Valley’s orchards and gardens in the immediate post-war years from photographs of that date, the NMP project has contributed invaluable information to the Tamar Valley Market Gardens Project, an initiative devised and funded by Tamar Valley AONB.
Market gardening is especially visible on 1946-1964 RAF vertical photographs, in the region directly to the north of Plymouth, and its extent has been plotted. Orchards tend to occur in the same areas, though some of these appear to have been swallowed by recent plantations.
