Earlier this year, a 300-year old beech tree collapsed in Rushden’s Hall Park.
Many residents were very upset at the loss of this tree. It was a much-loved feature of Hall Park.
Rushden Town Council has done its best to salvage something from the debris of the tree.
Much of the wood was completely rotten and not fit for any purpose. However, the stump has been turned into a planter so plants and flowers can be grown in it.
The best pieces of timber have been turned into “green” benches in the Park. So, in one way or the other, the tree will live on!
