I'm glad to report that they're still standing! These photos aren't great, but they do at least show how much taller they are than every other tree in the area and the incredibly confusing presence of an old phone box is a helpful comparison for how chunky they are
However, I also found out that these are dawn redwoods, the smallest variety of redwoods. These don't even get to half the height of the giant ones in California and they're still the biggest trees I've ever seen in person

Neat to see. That one looks to be about the size of the Norwegian Pine in my parent’s front yard. It and it’s sibling are on the top 10 list for largest Norwegian pines in the world
