E ver determined to find out about the telegraph pole adjacent to the phone box in Kempley (Glos) they have sent us some more photographs.  These arrived after our Society wise man, Keith S**** (H.T.A. T.P.A.S*) had spoken.

Not much to add to your comments on the above, but this pole was grown in the U.K. I can tell by the wide spaces between the rings. I would guess that it is Scots Pine, it does not have the characteristic roughness between the rings of Douglas Fir (could possibly be Larch but not likely as they were not that common)

* Keith S**** is the Honorary Technical Adviser to The Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society. What he doesn't know about telegraph poles could be written on the back of a co-operative saving stamp - still leaving ample room for everything that I DO know about telegraph poles.

Keith has since added that he thinks it is of the species Larix Decidua(Larch). We're proud that we have only the best people advising us here at the Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society.
