The more established residential developments at Bourne built some forty years ago were enhanced by the planting of many trees of assorted species and it is impossible to pass this spot at the junction of Queen's Road and Mill Drove on a sunny day in May without stopping to admire the laburnum which adorns this corner. The yellow flowers gave us the old poetic name of the golden chain tree but they are now less popular for public places today because all parts of the tree including the seeds are poisonous.
