A single mature tree can be 50, 80, even 100 years old鈥攓uietly building a world for birds, insects, fungi, and mammals.
In minutes, modern machines erase decades of growth.

In May 1994 Westow CC in North Yorkshire featured in a number of national newspapers as their ground was pictured surrounded on three sides by oil seed rape. A local farmer who owned the land wanted the club out but lost a legal case so this seemed to have been his retaliation. The farmer claimed it was simply crop rotation but club members appeared to think otherwise. One told the Daily Mail: "It's impossible to find balls when they go in there." Can anyone shed light on whether this was resolved ...

A short film showing traffic on Blackfriars Bridge in July 1896.
Pioneering filmmaker Robert W. Paul positioned his camera at the southern end of the bridge, looking north towards the City of London. Beyond lay Fleet Street and St Paul鈥檚, while steam trains (unfortunately not seen here) crossed the neighbouring railway bridge.
A wonderful glimpse of ordinary Londoners going about their lives 130 years ago.

Joe here, the Cillian Murphy of Margate, needs to book his hard drive in to be checked.

There are ways to handle even the toughest decision but it seems that again Lancashire have managed not to do it correctly. Anderson's England exit was badly handled by the ECB and perhaps it was silly to expect better of Lancashire
