Perhaps once part of the Hailey Hall estate, three of these five Giant Redwood trees are now within Hailey Hall School, one is in the grounds of Belmont View Care Home, and one is on the road-side approaching the school. There are also five more within the school grounds but these have yet to be measured. A lack of time and various "jobsworths" hampered documentation and measurements! One meets all types in this activity, most are proud to have their prized trees noted, but unfortunately some are a little more narrow minded and miserable in their attitude.
