Trust you eRRol to lower the tone!

:-D :-D

I know St Pancras Old Church very well. I also know the tree that your mention Lynda. It certainly is a spooky tree.

Some of my ancestors were married and baptised there too.

Some lived in what was Agar Town, which I believe is where Fagin was situated in Oliver Twist.

St Pancras has changed beyond all recognition over the past few years.

In Summer when walking the dog, I also enjoy sitting at the top of Parliament Hill. I can just imagine Guy Fawlkes and his cohorts sitting there too, waiting for the House of Parliament to blow up.

Just down the road, Little Green Street where Oscar Wilde used to entertain his young friends.........................

So much history, and each time I look and see something new.

The open door of my favourite pub never ceases to draw me in.

At the back of the very busy St Pancras station, there is a church called St Pancras Old church, In the graveyard of the church, there is a very peculiar sight, it was made when Thomas Hardy was working there, he was excavating some graves, and the headstones were placed around a tree, the headstones stayed, and the roots of the tree have pulled the the headstones into it, if you google Thomas Hardy tree, or Old St Pancras church you can see some great photo's of the tree. The church itself is beautiful too, middle of London, yet once you go through the gates, you could be in the middle of the country, Many of my ancestors had baptisms and funerals there long ago.

Where are the places of interest you never tire of seeing?
