| Full Description: A famous piece of local fruit was Cox's Orange Pippin apple, which was cultivated in around 1825 by Richard Cox, a retired Bermondsey brewer. It was first sold by a Colnbrook nursery, probably E. Small & Son, and subsequently by Charles Turner's Royal Nursery in 1850. The original tree in Colnbrook is thought to have been blown down in a gale in 1911.
Another variety of Pippin grown locally was the Langley Pippin, grown by the Chelsea firm of Veitch & Sons at their Langley nurseries (later taken over by Sutton's) in the late 19th Century. |
