Broadwater

Information received from a correspondent suggests that Broadwater Down, about a mile of suburban road running roughly west-east from the A26 to the A267 on the southern edge of Tunbridge Wells, may be a good place to look for Wellingtonia. 

I find this morning that a lot of mature conifers - along with plenty of other trees - are to be seen in Street View - and the one snapped above - possibly in the neighbouring and more or less parallel Broadmead - may well be a Wellingtonia. Not enough pixels available to be sure, but clearly worth a visit when we are next in town.

Not to be confused with the (in)famous Broadwater Farm estate in Haringey in north London, not far from where we had our first flat. A place which was once the subject of my attentions as an assistant census officer. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing grand, just one rung up from the enumerators at the bottom of the ladder. Furthermore, being an enumerator, actually seeing people, would have been more interesting than being an assistant census officer, an officer who checked up rather than did.

A quick Bing suggests that 'Broadwater' is common both as a place name and as a family name, both here and in the Anglophone world generally.
