So many trees! Nice. Where did we then go wrong?

Thanks for the picture: I was brought up in one of the houses on the north side of the road in this picture, so it brings back personal recollections!  I was there in the 1950s, not when this was taken, and I have no recall of trees in this part of Ridge Road: there were trees still standing on the short section on the curve on the road (visible at the back of the picture) between Denton and Mayfield Roads, but the rest of the road was treeless. MIght they have been cut down during one of the wars? wood for fuel?
