Bevercoates Lane Flora  -  1992
This list of flowers was recorded in 1992 by Doris Sanderson. Doris has lived in Tuxford for most of her life. As a child she used to play in the lane and can remember the verges being covered in flowers. As farm chemicals started to be used extensively the numbers and varieties of flowers decreased substantially. In recent years the flowers had been coming back to the lane, this is Doris's list from 1992.

The flora now has another enemy - grass cutting either by the local council or farmers at the wrong time of the year for the flowers.
