We reckon they must have chopped about 20 feet off the top of it - this is on the perimeter of the woods - along Barclay Road - part of it must have landed in the road. Left one hell of a hole where the roots broke off.
Jonathan's class at school planted new trees along there a few years ago - we go occasionally to look at his tree, wonder how long it will take to reach the height of the one that fell over.

Re: Warley Woods
Me and my mates used to go to Warley Woods with our sledges and have great fun.We'd made our own using hula hoops underneath the runners to make them glide faster.Thinking about it we used to walk miles.We'd walk over the golf links to Bleakhouse Church and then down and up to The Pheasant.

Re: Warley Woods
It was my kids' favourite playground Rob - hardly ever saw them in the school holidays. Last September it was voted as Englands favourite Green Space in a national competition : http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2011 ... rite-park/
