There are plenty of old trees in this little park, but this one caught my eye from a distance - like an over-sized bonsai. I was puzzled as to the species, but a local resident was able to identify it as a Black Mulberry. Silverhall Park is a fairly narrow open space lying along the south side of the Duke of Northumberland's River. The area was once part of the grounds of a 17th century house known as Silver Hall. http://www.hounslow.info/libraries/local-history-archives/an-a-z-of-isleworth/an-a-z-of-isleworth-3/
