Wall down and fallen tree on Cemetery Lane Darlington

Pictures taken on Cemetery Lane appear to show a section of the wall brought down, with bricks and rubble lying along the pavement.

A tree can be seen felled close to the damaged area, and parts of the trunk have been cut into smaller sections, but there is no indication that this is what has caused the wall to fall.

Someone told The Northern Echo: “It looks like a tree has come down and destroyed the wall. Then someone has come along and chopped up the tree.

They added: “But we can’t be certain what has happened.”
