I meant on a localised structural level. The trees are a mistake there is no doubt about that, but they only cling to the side of the hill willow and remain superfical, they aren’t changing the shape or nature of the plateau, the Panopticon will be a construction and will change the surface?

The road skirts the lower reaches of the landscape and is not actually on the coppice. I went up Fern Gore today to get a perspective on the view point of the coppice that I grew up with. All I could see was bloody trees. When I grew up in Accrington the coppice was almost barren moorland, it’s still very much untouched on top. What I always remembered and was disappointed not to be able to see was what we called her scar. That in itself was like a beacon whatever the weather.
