Woodmont Orchard

A view to the south of Woodmount Orchards. The logging in the left bottom corner near the sharp bend of Hovey Road is the start of Orchard View Estates in October of 2005

Hovey Road starts at the center bottom and turns left

The home on the center right is a antique built about 1880 according to tax records, it includes a slate roof, gingerbread type trim and even a turret! All this detail can be seen in the full size images that these photographs are printed from. (This structure and the one nearby are not part of Woodmont Orchards) The home in the upper right hand border is on the North East corner of Duck Marsh and was moved from the original location by the front portion of the park and ride in one piece through the orchard.

One of the first ever built the building in the center is a controlled atmosphere storage facility at Woodmont Orchards. Construction started in the late 1950's by William "Bill" Lievens, a expert in his field and president of both the New Hampshire Fruit Growers and the New York - New England Apple Institute.

The wetland near the top of the image, Duck Marsh, borders a 19 acre portion of the orchard that looks dark green in this image, those apple trees are located on Gilcreast Road across from Cortland Street. The entire farm covers approximately 264 acres. The box store in the upper left is the Home Depot, to the center of left is the Apple Tree Mall where the Shaw\'s is located. On the far left near the top is the Park and Ride center including a bus terminal at Exit 4.

Still not showing the entire farm this view provides a glimpse from what is hidden from cars as they travel up route 93 from Boston just 43 miles away. The terraced looking orchard on the right hand side towards the center is Mack\'s U-Pick 4. The orchard has been grown on the side of the slope. On clear days you can see Boston from the high points of Woodmont Orchard. The line in the center near the top is 102 leading to crossroads mall at the end. South school can be seen to the left of that directly above the Market Basket plaza in the distance. To the far right the dome shaped image surrounded by smaller domes, is the VOR called "MHT" used for aircraft navigation.

This closeup of the packing house, shows the antique truck with the Woodmont logo on the side. In any large photographs you order you will find the detail stunning. ImageAbility also has the ability to produce these in larger sizes perfect for corporate and office environments. You may have seen our work at the Londonderry Town Hall in each of the themed conference rooms. Note the rust colored pole on the left hand side in the orchard, this is a fan that runs to keep the air moving when threats of frost or freeze occur in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

The Lievens Homestead can be seen on the left hand side, the red home framed with the bright yellow maple leaves. These images were shot in the fall of 2005. Just at the very top far left is the back corner of the Market Basket in Londonderry. The white buildings with black rooftops are located on Commons Drive. This first class office complex is nestled into the Woodmont farm.

Route 93 borders the Woodmont Orchard on the east side south of Pillsbury road. In the lower left is the intersection of Londonderry Road and Pillsbury Road. The right hand side on the right near route 93 is Trolley Car Lane. In the Upper left corner you can see Market Basket at the top and Sears Essentials on the left.

Woodmont Orchards viewing the farm to the west just above the Route 93 exit 4 off ramp. The red car is about to exit onto Route 102 in this photo. The Woodmont homestead is completely covered with the fall foliage in this view, but the climate controlled storage house can be seen clearly in the center. The loading dock doors show as teeth under the black roof. The farm continues off to the right along Hovey Road up to Spring Road not seen in this image. (Spring road on the north side of the orchard is not developed at this time.)

Coming into view nearly the entire north section of Woodmont Orchards the top right hand side at the top is Kit Lane, Kim Ave and Spring Road neighborhoods. Total acres in the farm is about 264, this does not include the Sears Essentials property.

Reaching from the Park and ride at Exit 4 on 93 on the south side, (seen here on the bottom left) to the Spring Road area on the north, Woodmont Orchards consists of about 264 acres of fields and farm. The buildings on the lower right are on the east side of Route 93, the bottom most building houses Phantom Fireworks today on Londonderry Road.

Zooming in on the orchard clearly visible are ladders, apple bins and the fans that keep the blossoms from freezing in the spring. The New England Rocks litter the landscape, some spread through the fields and some moved to piles or constructed into walls. If you order any of these images as prints, the larger the image the more detail will be visible. All prints are suitable for framing or finishing for display in your home or office. If you have a larger need, in size or for your company contact us at www.ImageAbility.com our custom services are available worldwide.

Pillsbury Cemetery opened in 2004, on land donated by Woodmont. This is located in the north east corner of the orchard directly across from a Estey Lumber woodlot.

This view is just about the entire Woodmont Farm, the dark green area on the center left is missing a small piece of the 19 acres on the south west corner of that lot. The Exit 4 ramp was reconstructed in the last decade and Route 93 was cleared for widening after the last lawsuit ended in the summer of 2009. The park and ride bus terminal can be seen in the center of the parking lot near the southbound exit ramp that leads to 102 east and west intersection. The Sears Essentials, once a K-Mart is owned by the Woodmont family and sits on approximately 18.6 acres. The building is about 145,000 square feet of retail space presently configured into two stores. The dark green woodlands on the upper center right is a woodlot for the Estey Saw Mill in Londonderry. The pond in the lower center of the image is located next to the Burger King and belongs to the Cracker Barrel Country Store. This was once the major source of refrigeration (ice) in the region.

This massive farm located at Exit 4 on Route 93 in Londonderry borders the highway as seen in the bottom of the image. On the upper right center of the photo the light green area is the Pillsbury Cemetery donated by the Woodmont family in 2004.
