The trees that were sited on the pavement near the curb along many roads are getting far fewer.

How many of you can claim an original tree of many years growth outside or near to your home?

Any idea what Road / Street / Lane / or Avenue (That is named for trees in it ) still has any?

The one outside next door remains today although others I remember have gone.

It's the same tree!

I was always terrified of climbing up that outside staircase perched on very small piers of bricks to the top floor, where my mate lived.

Next door 311 another mate lived, in the war he was seventeen and joined the ARP Wardens, he was in bed one night when an aeroplane exploded overhead and a large part came through the roof, he was killed in the small front bedroom on the top floor.

    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
    • Was the driver still with it when the police arrived?
