Tree sculpture outside No.66 Westbourne Avenue. In the 1980s the area experienced problems with subsidence due to a drought and extensive tree planting in the area causing drying of the clay subsoil. Consequently, many trees were cut down; many of the tree stumps were carved into sculptures by local artists. Tree sculpture in the Avenues 1999 to 2006: http://www.hullsangel.org/frameset02.html
