The REDreadTREE: Ruth Tomteron Circa 1996

Jill Waldron has provided this image and the context for it. At the time it was taken Jill was the co-owner of the Hazelwood’s Shop – Tunbridge’s general store at the time. Ruth Tomteron called into the shop to enquire about who she should see about getting permission to go onto the land to take some photographs of the tree. She later called in to the shop and gave Jill this image.

The Network is aware that many people have taken a great many photographs at different times since May 1996 when one dead tree became an ecoLANDMARK. In collecting these photographs it is hoped that new insights into how this site has been imagined may emerge.

Photographer: Unknown

The addresses that people need to send their images to are:

Only COPIES should be sent as the Network does not have a budget for return postage. It doesn’t matter what form the copy is in – digital, print, photocopy, whatever. In addition to the image the Network would appreciate anything that people can remember about the day they took their photograph and any other observations they may have made. And of course we need people's names and their permission to publish their image on this site.
