Bush Rummager 3,825 Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Some cnuts cut it down! Famous Hadrian's Wall gap tree 'felled overnight' - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK The Northumbria police commissioner said she was "incandescent" that it looked... I didn't know anything about the tree until a lad at work mentioned it just a few weeks back. Bit of a landmark apparently and popular with photographs. I'd said I'd get over and see it at some point. Not happening now is it. Any ideas.. who and why?? 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly what I thought mate! I did say that to the lad at work that went there last year.. he said there's acces right along there as it's on the Hadrians wall route. He was bloody gutted when I told him some f@@ker had felled it! I was wondering if that tree had been planted there hundreds of years ago by someone who had the foresight of knowing how grand it would look there when mature but also knowing they'd never get the pleasure of seeing the finished article. Who knows! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,585 Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 All joking aside that is a significant tree to cut down and looks to have been done by someone that new what they were doing even appears to have been notched on one side to dictate the direction of fall, I would think a 16 year old kid would be more likely to chop his leg off with a saw big enough to run through that in one go, think more will come out on this one 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
