The Cedar Tree

[Admin]

Cedars Park was named after the Cedar tree that once grew in the garden of the house of the same name. The picture below was taken probably in the late 1950s.

The same tree appears in the emblem for the Cedars Park Masonic Lodge that was consecrated on 30th April 1968.

Here we can see the same tree as it was in 1956.

If you look at the bottom of the tree behind the small child, you can get an idea of girth of the tree!

Is this tree still there? What is in this part of the park now?

Unfortunately, we lost this tree many years ago. Perhaps someone could tell us when exactly. When it was there, it stood in front of gap between the cafe and the meeting room.

I remember the tree well, it was quite magnificent. Thanks for the photos, brings back memories. You can see a greenhouse in the background where plants used to be grown for the park.
