The Pinnacles

This photograph of The Pinnacles pub was sent to me by Frances Card. It was taken on the day that the hoardings were erected before demolition was started. The tall tree in the distance is the 95ft Wellingtonia that was felled after councillors gave the go-ahead for the development. The tree was probably the tallest in Tonbridge, and in good health, but even the Preservation Order that it carried bore no weight and it was lost.

    What's the point of a tree preservation order if the Council ignores it?!

      No point at all other than an opportunity to discuss. In this case probably whether the tree would hinder development of the site. Nothing of value is ever safe in Tonbridge - just look at our demolished town centre.
