As the name implies, there were once extensive orchards here both on what is now the Queen Elizabeth II playing fields to the right and the (hilly) bank up to Cainscross Road to the left. The bridge has been rebuilt in recent years allowing boats to pass through while maintaining access to the field from the new houses on the opposite bank.
