Urban laburnum at Bourne, Lincolnshire
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.

Front garden magnolia at Bourne, Lincolnshire
The front gardens along Mill Drove were planted with a variety of trees and shrubs when the estate was developed forty years ago and in one of them is a magnificent magnolia that flowers each year to provide a glorious welcome for passers-by, an ancient species that originated in the Caribbean and now gives delight to all in many of our suburban streets on sunny days in spring.

Edinburgh Crescent at Bourne, Lincolnshire
The residential area built on farmland to the north east of Bourne as part of the housing boom following the Second World War brought extra streets and roads to the town. Queen's Road was under construction with Edinburgh Crescent adjoining in 1953, the year that Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in the company of her consort, the Duke of Edinburgh, and so the two names reflected this national celebration.
