Caborn Corner planting

Story: Saleema Imam

It's good to see trees being replanted again on Caborn corner outside the entrance to the new Tesco store on Spital Hill. The commemorative plaque to George Caborn and his accompanying evergreen tree have also been returned to a prominent position near the bus stop.

Sheffield City Council are responsible for planting a wide variety of trees, shrubs, climbers, perennials and bulbs for all year round interest. Tesco are supporting the future maintenance of the raised beds and other planting along the Savile Street boundary.
