One of the more unusual Christmas tree displays at the Helmsley Christmas Tree Festival was this one by the local Scouts, with a camp scene and the logs of the camp fire forming a tree, with lots of decorations on it. I thought this was a very creative idea.
In the background, on the wall, can be seen part of a wall painting, one of several decorating the walls here, which were created in the early years of the 20th century. They are well worth looking at, and tell interesting histories.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was great fun looking round the trees, but very difficult when it came to choosing a favourite to vote for after seeing them all with their wide range of very creative ideas.
We always have to smile when we stop off there. My sister used to live there and we always wondered why. It’s always an experience!

Thank you! I'm planning to do a few posts of old photos in January. I will see if I can include at least one of the murals and some background info.
