The Fair Oak tree (Quercus Sp.) with male figure at foot of tree, Cardiff, 1890

This ancient Fair Oak tree was planted near the Ty Draw Road/Fairoak Road junction in Roath, Cardiff. It died in 1925 but the stump has remained. In the 1990s the tree was commemorated with a plaque and a new oak tree was planted nearby.
