Bonn Square was the former graveyard of St Peter-le-Bailey Church, and given to the city of Oxford as a memorial garden after the old church was demolished in 1874.
Before 2008, it was a green oasis in the city centre, and the low perimeter wall was popular with shoppers and travellers, who could rest there in the shade of the mature trees.
But sadly it was wrecked by Oxford City Council, who felled the century-old trees and replaced them with a row of high-tech "lamp posts".
At a cost of nearly two million pounds, this supposedly cash-strapped council turned one of the city's gems into a tacky little square for skate-boarders and school parties.
