==Query #6 - Horse-Collar Oak==

'''17/06/1933'''

Can some of your readers tell me the date of the throwing or felling of the Horse-collar Oak on the Warminster Road, and what became of the Horse-collar formed by the junction of the two branches. I was informed by the late Mr. Murry Fisher that there were only two specimens in existence, one being this oak at Bath. Perhaps some one can give the habitation of the second. Soft wood trees often form horse-collars, but such a freak is rare in the harder woods, therefore it was a pity that such a curiosity was destroyed or the horse-collar was not preserved in our museum.—A. V. G., Bath.
