Amey / Acron Fell Iconic Shefffield Ash Tree 'Milly' on Millhouses Lane
Local / Sheffield Dec 21, 2017 - 10:35 AM GMTBy: Anika_Walayat
For over 3 months the Tree campaigners of the Millhouses area of Sheffield had put up a brave effort in attempts at saving Millhouses Lane's big Ash tree 'Milly' that saw many tree campaigners out from dawn until dusk protecting the tree in all weathers, from late summer, to autumn right through to the bitter cold of late November into mid December. First came the cropping of 10 days ago that saw Amey / Acorn take street overhanging branches, but still the tree lived on, and so did the campaigners continue to brave freezing temperatures. Unfortunately on 20th December, Amey / Acorn came in the very early hours of the morning at around 4.30am to complete the felling of Milly. Which now stands no more, just a mere stump remains where once a mighty Ash tree once stood.
Here is the story of Milly's life of its last four weeks from a big strong Ash tree, to a heavily pruned half tree and finally into the last few hours that saw Milly's untimely demise.
And here are a few stills from the video:
