Avenue of Poplar Trees Memorial to the 9th Battalion Sherwood Foresters
Highlight • Historical Site
The memorial also included an avenue of 184 Lombardy Poplars lining the drive to the farm, the number of trees representing the number of officers and men of the 9th Battalion The Sherwood Foresters Regiment who died during the battle over the period 7 July to 30 November of 1916.
The original poplars were successively felled, due to their age and height becoming a hazard, but were replaced by new planting of the same species as part of the village of Kinoulton's 2000 Millennium celebrations.
The farm itself has been derelict for many years, and its current state of decay makes it look as if it could have been transplanted from the battlefield from which it takes its name.
