In the mid-nineties, the Planetree Inn was a gold mine with a waiting list of licensees wishing to take it over. However depopulation of the Cob Wall area has forced this former Thwaites Inn on Whalley Old Road to close.
Thwaites still had this pub on its website until I reported the matter to them. Since then, the etched glass windows have been removed and replaced by upvc units with shutters over them.

Most London Planetrees in the region have late season foliar issues, worse than native sycamores.
Caledonia waterfalls, is one of the highest water falls in Cyprus. It is located on Platres village in Troodos and the water fells from a height of 12 meters. It can be reached via a walking path.
Caledonia waterfall is surrounded by forest in a very beautiful area with breathtaking views. The trail is 3km long and can last up to 2 hours. It can also be divided into two parts, the first one which is the higher one that leads to the waterfalls and the second one which leads from the waterfall to Platres.

"Our Lady of the Snow" a little XVIII c. church in a small grove of plane trees just outside Bellizago, a nice place near Novara in Northern Italy. Don't ask me what the snow has to do with this church. It's just tradition.

One of the largest of London's private squares, designed and laid out by John Nash, dominated by plane trees said to have been planted in 1817 to commemorate the allied victory at Waterloo two years earlier. Other trees of note include a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and weeping silver lime (Tilia tomentosa 'Petiolaris')
An original and unique feature of the garden is the Nursemaids' Tunnel, an early pedestrian underpass connecting the Square to Park Crescent. The tunnel passes under the busy Marylebone Road, allowing families to promenade safely through both gardens without worrying about the noisy public throng passing overhead.
The combination of Park Square and Crescent was designed to form a transitional entrance feature to Regent’s Park, leading the visitor from the formal Nash streetscape of Portland Place in the south, to the green and picturesque landscape in the north. It was described as a 'sort of vestibule' to the new royal park. New gates and railings have been installed to original designs.
The gardens retain most of their original Nash layout and have been managed continuously from their inception by an organisation specifically set up in 1824 to carry out this task, the Crown Estate Paving Commission.

The trees along the canal are incredible. Unfortunately there's a fungus affecting the plane trees and lots of them have had to be destroyed. They're magnificent trees.

Nature's Chrimbo tree, a plane, ready-built with bauble decorations. The next step for evolution is the lights and tinsel, though it's unclear what selective advantage the tree would gain from that. Oh, didn't a Dr Who story have something like that in it recently?

Title from a track I have playing in the background at the moment. No prizes for getting the name of the band (oh, alright, maybe an honourable mention in my next post about either your bad taste in music, or your supernatural prowess with search engines :).
