Sycamore Gap tree removed from Hadrian's Wall to be seasoned and reused
As National Trust draws line under criminal act, members of public suggest future uses for timber.
Some saw the day as a chance to say farewell. One person described the event as a "full stop" to the saga. But as the criminally felled, world-famous Sycamore Gap tree was carefully removed from its home on Hadrian's Wall, people also spoke of hope, optimism and rebirth.
A crane from Manchester arrived on Thursday morning for the challenging job of removing the tree.
Throughout Thursday, a team worked with chainsaws to cut the tree into manageable sections that could be transported to a truck.
The Sycamore Gap tree was regarded by many as an integral part of north-east England. Its felling two weeks ago prompted an outpouring of distress, mixed with fury at the pointlessness of the vandalism.

Some saw the day as a chance to say farewell. One person described the event as a "full stop" to the saga. But as the criminally felled, world-famous Sycamore Gap tree was carefully removed from its home on Hadrian's Wall, people also spoke of hope, optimism and rebirth.
A crane from Manchester arrived on Thursday morning for the challenging job of removing the tree.

Poisoned oaks, slain sycamores: who’s behind Britain’s tree murders?
In affluent areas across the UK, unknown assassins are striking. Their weapons? Herbicides and hatchets. Their victims? Once mighty trees. We join the plant detectives on their trail.
Whitecliff Park is the scene of two shocking double murders. Most recently, during the night of 15 February, an attack left two dead on Turks Lane, along the southeastern edge of the park. Six months earlier, two much-loved elderly residents - fine, upstanding pillars of the community - were poisoned to death on Whitecliff Road.
It could have been worse: the victims could have been people. They are - were - trees: two sycamores and a pair of English oaks.

Poisoned oaks, slain sycamores: who’s behind Britain’s tree murders?
In affluent areas across the UK, unknown assassins are striking. Their weapons? Herbicides and hatchets. Their victims? Once mighty trees. We join the plant detectives on their trail.
Whitecliff Park is the scene of two shocking double murders. Most recently, during the night of 15 February, an attack left two dead on Turks Lane, along the southeastern edge of the park. Six months earlier, two much-loved elderly residents - fine, upstanding pillars of the community - were poisoned to death on Whitecliff Road.
It could have been worse: the victims could have been people. They are - were - trees: two sycamores and a pair of English oaks.
