Statement of Significance
Contribution to the landscape
This Cork Oak ( Quercus suber) is a fine old specimen, one of the few in the area. It is planted with four Q. ilex (Holm Oak), and Q. robur (English Oaks). There is also an ancient Pear tree.
Growing in an extremely inhospitable site, it may be under threat of damage from redevelopment or sealing of the road and cars reversing or parking under it. Trunk bark has quite a lot of damage and neighbours have reported cork being cut.
