That killed it Kev. Here's the answer LINK. It's a single cashew nut tree and reputedly the biggest in the world covering two acres.
Next for shaving?

Oh you're good at this Gloria... Yes that was one of the theories but to be honest nobody knows for sure, so you've got that bit, now, where was it (I have an idea it's been demolished.).

Sorry Stanley, no idea where it is, other than maybe in a valley and that’s why it needed extra draw?

Nobody else is trying Gloria. It was in Bingley and was a local curiosity. Immortalised in Walter Pickles' book 'Our Grimy Heritage'. Next one?
