Last week I reported on plans to replace a tree in Bury Street with a sculpture as part of the proposed investment in the precinct.

Back in April 2026, the tree was looking at its best, with a canopy of new leaves and blossom.

Now in November most of those leaves have fallen.

The last yellow leaves cling on but mostly the branches are bare.

Meanwhile on the Market Place, while all the other trees are loosing their leaves, a freshly chopped Christmas Tree, with all its leaves, appeared today.
