Description: | C 1903.
Postcard view of Shire Oak on Otley Road, the tree that was an important focal point at the centre of Headingley for many years. Now decaying, it has railings around to protect it. The tree finally collapsed on 26th May 1941. In 1956 another oak was planted nearby in the grounds of the Original Oak Inn, but the old one is still preserved in St. Michael's Church where a statue was carved from its wood. The postcard is dated 31st December 1903. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | tree Otley Road Shire Oak | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
