Collapsed, semi layered tree in grounds of William Booth College. Leaning main stem removed some years ago. [ed: Building dates from 1929, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. From the Ideal Homes website: "After the breakup of the de Crespigny Estate [...] numerous grand detached houses were built." The tree seems to be on the site of one of the long gardens of such a house and could date from the time of the estate]. Probably No 85 Champion Hill, shown on an 1890s map. The tree probably therefore dates to mid-1800s.
