The top of the tree has been recently cut off, after a lighting strike some years ago. Many thanks to geoffp and Jean-charles17 for the information! Please visit their sites for viewing the current condition of the tree!
Lovely photos. I used to live just round the corner on Morthen Rd and then moved to Holly Mount (see photo, the house on the left). Now living in France, but remember many happy hours taking the dog for walks in the woods.
