  • On the site of a former churchyard, an ancient protected London Plane tree rises over 70 feet high on the corner of Wood Street and Cheapside in the City of London. Mentioned and fated in the annals of London history for almost 600 years, the tree is a city emblem, written about and quoted in text and verse including William Wordsworth in 1797: "At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears / Hangs a Thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years / Poor Susan has pass'd by the spot, and has heard / In the silence of morning the song of the bird .. A mountain ascending, a vision of trees / Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide / And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside."
