To date, nine pairs of boots and shoes have been hurled into this ash tree near Knowesgate. Can anyone enlighten me as to why? The following shoe tree links have been kindly supplied to me by Evelyn: http://www.mslexia.co.uk/newwriting/newwriting24.html and http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=34336&in_page_id=34 and http://www.eglobe1.com/index.php/2006/08/10/shoes-tree/
