Giant Redwood - May 2009
This Giant Redwood was a chance find while travelling through Kettering. It is nice to see a gap in the wall to cater for its expanding girth.


* Update June 2017 *
Very sad to hear from the The Fonseca Family, who went searching for this tree, that it has been cut down completely.
