Spotted this in a wood near me today and remembered this thread.
The Beech tree is growing on the top of a derelict limekiln and appears to be holding one of the firebricks that line the structure. It really is stuck fast within the roots.   |

I think there was a watch found in a log a couple of years ago. Somebody had lost it and it was lodged in a fork of a branch and over the years the wood grew around it. It was in the papers and I'm sure it was a watch

Wonder what happened to the cyclist - are they deeper in the tree.
Reminds me than when management was restored to mature trees in Highate Wood ... 'During the Second World War a barrage balloon was anchored on the north east section of the playing field. The outline of the concrete blocks may be seen, and two of the metal retaining rings have been exposed when the soil around them was eroded. They are now in the information centre. When a number of trees were felled in 1987 to create a new plantation, several chain-saws were damaged by shrapnel that had embedded in the timber when the adjacent railway line was bombed.' | | | |
