Name origin

The "Green" in the name "Greensted Green" refers to an area directly to the south of the Greensted road and the east of the Toot Hill road which was fenced off for agricultural use probably towards the end of the nineteenth century. The south western corner of the former green was for many years a marshy area at the confluence of various drainage ditches, but towards the end of the twentieth century it was dug out and extended, to create a small pond for ducks and (especially in winter) geese.

gollark: I don't want tiny compact-machine-fitting things (well, I kind of do, but separate to giant, awe-inspiring ones incorporating fusion plasma injectors of death, hopefully), I want giant ones requiring huge amounts of infrastructure to support it, with cool visual effects, massive (actually fitting, you know, a *fusion* reactor) power output (ideally via steam turbines), that sort of thing.
gollark: Also, I hope the new fusion reactors take inspiration from ReactorCraft.
gollark: The mekanism ones are a bit crazy. If you want oxygen, feeding the separator RF from its own hydrogen run through a gas-burning generator, *it works fine*.
gollark: Even when I had about 8 upgraded ones.
gollark: The nuclearcraft ones are just too slow.
