 The cedar tree in St Leonard's Road around 1910. In 2006 a postcard of the above Edwardian view was lost in the post so we hope to find another somewhere! In the meantime we include the only remaining scan of the view believed to be originally photographed and published by T E Cochrane, of 27 Queens Road, Windsor, also at one time of St Leonards Avenue. The date of the view is probably around 1910. 
 The cedar tree in St Leonards Road pre-dates the road by a long way. We are looking for more information about its earlier days before becoming a famous landmark in this part of Windsor. The cedar tree remains to this day (February 2007). In our article about the film Carry on Cabby, (1963) we include these images of the same area of St Leonards Road, from both sides of the cedar tree.
Queens Road has been renamed Rigby Road for the purposes of the film. the cedar tree is to the left, with The Trooper Public House beyond at no.97. Martin's Garage dating from 1914, nos. 103-105, is to the right of centre and the Ex-Servicemen's Club to the right at no. 107.
The same area from the other side, at the junction of St Mark's Road. The cedar tree is to the right, with Martin's Garage to the left and the Ex-Servicemen's Club to the right of centre and a café further to the right.  |
