Inspired by the notebook post. Share what you found and where, with variety names if you know them, and a guess if you don't.
I'll start: a Wyecross Russet in the churchyard behind our house, at least eighty years old by the look of the trunk.

Brenna's Green in my grandfather's old orchard, still cropping. I'd guess the tree is older than I am.

Unknown variety on a roadside near the coast. Small, very red, sharp as anything. Any guesses?

Replying to Jonah Abernethy
Could be a Lady Henshaw. Cut one across: if the flesh is stained pink near the skin, that's a good sign.
