The haunted bench on Weald Lane before whoever it was made away with it. Now the corner is benchless. It is all too sad.

#HauntedBench update. It's still missing, presumed carted away by the bloody council (see also the ancient stone bench in Byron Park) #philistines. I so hope they didn't know to strew the ground with salt. #hauntedbench #wealdlane #fallencomrade
