Blindley Heath - Langsmead (Surrey) |

 |
| There are three fine looking Wellingtonia here in the road named Langsmead. These, and one other in the garden of a house facing the main road, were originally part of the Langsmead estate, the original old house having been demolished in the early 1950's. There was a fifth tree in the group, but this had to be cut down after it was badly damaged by lightning on 16th May 1983. All that remains now is a huge stump on a front lawn. I would like to thank the owner of the tree for which measurements are shown, for kindly providing these details and for holding one end of my tape measure! |
