This dead tree is to be found next to the where the Renault Crossroads Garage has been demolished and Cranbourne Homes are about to build 62 residences. The ivy up the trunk is till thriving but the spreading limbs are leafless.

I’m not blaming the ivy. I’m not blaming the demolition work. I’m not even blaming Drayton Road air pollution. I expect the tree died of old age… Unless you know different.
