There were seven chestnut trees outside Wall Court. One of them was removed on Monday. Great visual amenity loss. I assume because of Bleeding Canker disease - are the others at risk?

I think the stump should be preserved and carved with a totem, suggestions?

No trees in 1945

Not true just noticed when you zoom you can see the original saplings

If the stump is still there at the weekend I might count the tree rings as there should be approximately 70

[I am trying to upload an image of vandalised tree but cannot work out how . Any suggestions please?]

I'm most surprised to see in the photo from ‘45 (Ali's flic.kr link, above) that the ‘70s-looking building at the junction of Lorne Road and SGR is already there. No external fire escape, mind.
