One of the oldest businesses in Cirencester has begun marking its 175th anniversary by planting trees in the grounds of the Gloucestershire town’s hospital.
Agricultural estate agency and auction house Moore Allen and Innocent reached the milestone last in 2020, and had hoped to begin the voluntary work then, only for national lockdowns to delay ground clearance and planting.
The company’s employees this month started planting what will amount to 175 oak, field maple, hornbeam and hazel trees on the western edge of Cirencester Hospital’s grounds.
