Creative Whittington residents have given a rotting tree a new lease of life.

A huge Leylandii had to be removed on Main Street, but the home owners decided to ask tree surgeons to leave the bottom ten foot of trunk in place.

North Wales chainsaw carver Simon O’Rourke was then invited to create an artwork from the stump.

The result is a ten-foot high angle with spread wings.
