  1. English oak,amongst other species,was the backbone of early industrial revolution,as before then timber was grown and cut for boatbuilding,land transport and building. Coppice and pollard provided for the many structural forms now replaced by plastics,metals and concrete. As the comercial viability of timber declines due to 'new materials' and timber imports,these old 'working trees' are left to their own devices. It is my wish that they(coppice & pollard) were still worked and the produce used.
