OPPOSITION TO FELLING OF ABBEY TREES


AFTER standing for 100 years in the grounds of Whalley L Abbey, four chestnut trees may be felled but the decision to bring down the trees has met with opposition. During a gale last year a


branch was broken off one of the trees and wrecked one car completely and damaged another. This led to an ex­ pert examination of the trees and eventually the decision


to fell them. Mr. D. Dunderdale, assistant


secretary to Blackburn Diocesan Board of Finance agreed that the decision to fell the .trees


was brought about in the first place, by the branch falling on the cars. Mr. Dunderdale stated, “We


create a more open atmosphere more like the abbey was origi­ nally. Miss H. M. Gradwell, the war­


den at the abbey said that the trees are dangerous, “They are more than 100 years old. The Forestry commission were called in after the branch fell on to the car, and we can only take their advice,” she said. She added that every tree in
