This very tall Poplar Tree, at the junction of Worrall Road and Langsett Avenue, is featured in a very old photograph of the area and is dated 1905. That makes it - in my estimation - over 100 years old. In the old photograph it is only about 6 feet tall and the description indicates that it had been purloined from the nearby Lunatic Asylum grounds.
