Thanks for the kind words everyone.
The drive is the entrance to a local estate. 'The Big House', which is behind the camera, was built in 1904 and I assume that the Beech trees are of a similar age.
As nothing is forever, a few years ago the owner planted young trees parallel to the existing ones. You can see two or three to the left of the picture ready to take over when the others reach the end of their natural lives.
Unfortunately if, as seems likely, the Government goes ahead with the building of a new high speed rail link from London to Birmingham (HS2), then those at the end of the drive furthest from the camera, will be flattened and a huge concrete viaduct will be built there.
Well, that's something to look forward to.
