Graham DunningYesterday I went to visit the site of the Hardy Tree, in Saint Pancras Old Church yard. The author Thomas Hardy was an architecture student in the 1860s when the station and railway lines were being built, disrupting multiple graves. Hardy was tasked with doing something with the gravestones, so built a strange circular monument with a tree at its centre. <br> I read a year or two ago that the tree had either died or been damaged and had to be removed - this was the first time I'd been back since. Its roots are still entangled between the headstones. <br> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/London?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#London</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Trees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trees</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Graveyards?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Graveyards</a>
