Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Avenue of Trees in Martin Street, Penshurst between Ritchie and Cox Streets was planted in the early twentieth century to beautify the town. They are of interest for their mixed plantings in what is an unusual sequential pattern reflected between the cross streets and identical on either side of Martin Street. It may be that the pattern was influenced by the eminent landscape designer, Hugh Linaker who is known to have promoted such a pattern. The species are Ulmus, Schinus and Platinus. The avenue of trees is in fair condition, with reduced integrity due to the loss of several trees from the pattern.
