Lined with an avenue of poplars and sessile oaks neither of which have looked particularly healthy this summer.
Poorly poplars and sickly sessile oaks

I first noticed the poor state of these trees in late July after an unusually hot dry spell. I thought I'd photograph them to see if I could gather further clues. I wonder if they have suffered from some agricultural spraying which didn't agree with them, have contracted some disease or if it is just the effect of drought.
