There is an avenue of trees in Arrandene Open Space, Mill Hill planted for various former mayors

Presumably planted in the 1990s, they're coming nicely into maturity

Inspired by Paul Wood's excellent "1,000 Trees to find in Britain and Ireland's Towns and Cities" I'm starting a slow burn thread on the most interesting trees of Hendon, Mill Hill and Edgware

The Goldsmith Oak, around 400 - 500 years old on Lawrence Street. Perhaps named for writer Oliver Goldsmith who lived locally or for nearby Goldbeaters Farm

Pictured in 1910, 1964 and in recent times

Happy Middlesex Day.

Today, we recognise Middlesex and its historic identity, marked by the county flag flying in New Palace Yard.

Middlesex has featured in more than 293 debate titles in the House of Commons.

[Kabir Kaul @Kaulofthewilduk]

Your annual reminder that Middlesex still exists!

Today we celebrate the history and heritage of our 'capital county'. This includes our rich natural heritage - here's a magnificent oak in Pinner, on the margins of farmland with 13th-Century origins.

Happy Middlesex Day!

Matthew Engels on Middlesex

In the 1200s it was "infested by outlaws and beasts"

In the 1700s it was "the suburbs at large of London, replenished with the retiring houses of the gentry"

Lord Macauley said "an acre in Middlesex is better than a principality in Utopia"
