These trees are growing in the bottom of a double ditched, double hedge line, classified as a green boundary. It originally served as the main drive that once linked the grand Newton Hall mansion (demolished in 1926) to Framwellgate. Estimated to be upto 200 years old, this double hedge line is a surviving remnant of early 19th-century estate boundaries and driveway borders. The "double row" structure, reflects standard practice in traditional British land management and grand estate design. This is historically and ecologically significant, and deeply tied to the heritage of the old Newton Hall Estate. The grander, taller components, comprise classic British estate trees, including Common Beech, Sycamore, and English Oak.
