General Notes:
According to page 95 of Rising to the Occasion: A Community History of Wolseley, West Broadway & Armstrong Point by Christopher Dafoe: "The story is that when the street and the trees were young, there was an elm sapling here. A certain deliveryman used to tie his horse to the sapling, and the horse would nibble at it. The young tree died. The homeowner planted an oak in its place. The oak tasted bitter, the horse didn't nibble on it, and it survived. And here are the leaves to prove it.

Melinda Bowden told Don and Sally, and they told me, so it must be true!"

The magnificent oak is across the street from the splendid bus stop garden.
