When I moved to Tottenham 27 years ago, the Broadwater Farm riots had taken place the year before. As a result quite a bit of money was put into the area [the estate was half a mile from my house]. One of the initiatives was the planting of a "wood" in a park. I remember thinking how unlikely it was that the saplings would survive, let alone grow into a wood. Now, all those years later it is indeed a beautiful and relatively cared for wood. A great achievement.
