Brilliant sleuthing June, that looks entirely feasible... just need to work out why it’s the Blacksmiths Tree now!

The only urban nature copper beech where I live, it maybe the only urban mature tree in the town where I live which also has an 650+ year oak too.

That's a fine looking tree, may I ask where it is? And where the old oak is too!

The Copper Beech is at Woods Terrace Gainsborough and the Oak is in Richmond Park also in Gainsborough
