Melton Constable - Melton Hall (Norfolk) |
|
 |
 |
| This was a surprising find, a row of eighteen young Giant Sequoia saplings along one of the roadways into Melton Hall. They were all quite small and varying in height between 1.4m and 2.4m. |
 |
 |
| On another part of the estate, there are three Coast Redwoods on the drive up to Park Farm. These are easily missed as they are among other trees and are still a fairly modest size being 12.7m, 8.4m and 12.2m in height. At Dairy Farm there are four larger Giant Sequoia, three in the garden of Gamekeeper Cottage and one at the entrance of Dairy Farm House. | |
 A van fire in Melton Constable |
|
| On the day of the visit there was a spectaqular van fire in the town of Melton Constable. As you can see the fire was so intense that it set light to the adjacent telegraph pole. A crowd gathered and watched the fearless firemen stride right up to it and quench the flames. Hopefully the driver didn't get a parking ticket for leaving his van on a double yellow line! We tree spotters aren't accustomed to such excitment while out Redwood hunting. |
