The Westwoood Business Park in London Road, Great Horkesley looks as though it has been converted from an old house and its grounds. As is typical of many Victorian estates, some forsighted owner had planted some Giant Redwood trees. Four, in this example, and excellent specimens they are too. The trees seem well cared for, as do the grounds generally, and there many plants to be seen. We would love to have more details on the history of the place should anyone have such information available. |
