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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
