The Earlswood Road was laid out towards the end of the 19th century so its trees have had plenty of time to grow. This one (with a diameter of some 88 inches) has taken up most of the footpath. The roots of some of its neighbours have caused the tarmac to crack. The houses, on this side of the road, are substantial ones, set well back from any possibility of undermining and subsidence.
