Felling The Poplar. Grim Reaper
This rare black poplar (populus nigra) has been a landmark on the Chesterfield Canal at Cinderhill in S. Yorkshire. Unfortunately it is dying and unsafe so tree surgeons from Rotherham Borough Council have begun to remove it. You can just see the man in the tree and the branch falling.
We are not sure how old it is but 50 years would be a conservative estimate. In the position it stands, if it was blown down, it would damage the canal bridge, a house and some out buildings. I will be very sad to see it go.
