Sections of a century-old beech tree that came crashing down onto Manor Park’s putting green are lowered onto a lorry in the spring of 1950.
The Chronicle said it took a dozen strong Glossop Council workmen, yards of strong cable and plenty of grit and determination to remove the remains of the tree that left a crater six-feet in diameter.
The height of the beech, which stood near the pavilion, was not given, but was believed to have fallen over-night when no one was putting!
