If I recall correctly, the tree planting, as mere whips, began around 1970. One of the people involved in making it happen was Ken (Dozy) Marsden, an English teacher at the then Accrington Grammar School, who must have been coming to his retirement about that time.
Amazing how much they’ve grown and have transformed the Coppice that was my boyhood playground.
