staff'. Chadderton is about 7 miles north of Manchester, England.

A Town Worth Visiting

Whitebeam 'No Parking' Tree
A newly discovered species of tree has been named 'No Parking'. What
happened was the National Museum of Wales set about finding new species, or
sub-species of trees. They discovered a new whitebeam and named it 'Sorbus
no parking'. The team did not confine their search to Wales and they found this new
tree growing in a layby at Watersmeet in North Devon, UK. As this was
a layby, a local official had once nailed a 'No Parking' sign to the trunk
of this particular tree. When they listed the no parking whitebeam in Watsonia, the official
journal of the Botanical Society of the British Isles, they chickened out
and called it Sorbus admonitor (Admonish tell-off). Two anniversaries coincided with this search for new species in March
2009, the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of
the publication of his seminal work 'Origin of the Species' in 1859.Silly Plaque
