I did actually think to remove Mikes comment in case it gave the game away, I wasn't counting on someone being clever enough to find out where he lived though so I didn't. Never mind as it's al least narrowed the area down I guess.Next time there won't be any location clues like that left on lol

Over the years I've seen many fascinating growths of trees round, over and sometimes even through things like walls, etc. Next to Adel Crag there is what remains of a tree that once grew around a large boulder. Sadly that tree has been burnt at some stage (I suspect deliberately) and now only some cut down parts remain that surround the boulder. I took this photo today (April 8 2012) of that burnt out and since mostly cut down dead tree at Adel Crag. I think there has been a mention in SL of a so-called 'Devil's tree' that grew round a boulder at or near Adel Crag and I wonder if this may have been it?

This close-up photo taken today is of a still living tree at Adel Crag. It has grown around a boulder. I like the almost dinosaur face profile of the odd shaped growth of the tree. Sorry it has no direct link to Phill's 'What & Where?' query but does have a theme connection to Phill's interesting 'Tree monster' images set in Flickr.

Two others I remember, but walls going round trees are at Crossgates Library, one near each end of the wall, being there a long time (used to walk along the wall when much smaller (me, not the wall. There was a bench in front of the one closest to Station Road, now gone I think but then, the tree has grown and tried to move the wall out of the way too.Another was on York Road in the wall abutting what was the Killingbeck Fields, now fronting the business park adjacent to the slip road, this one I think rebuilt, but still round the tree, when the development was built. Also had the old style council seating (cast iron framed 'form') nea by.
