It was in these very fields, the world's first hybrid strawberries were crossed; the large North American strawberry with the native British strawberry to suite European climates and make an altogether more tough strawberry crop. This cross is the foundations for most of today's Strawberry crops. Despite such historical significance of the area, there is very little made of it and no evidence is left of it either.
