My question: Given the shallow roots (see second image below) and the
general lack of anything which looks lively down there is it worth trying
to re-erect it and reroot it (i.e. is it likely to survive) or should I
cut my losses and redesign around the space it has freed up.

It's had it. You might find that if you chop it off and dig
it in that it'll sprout up again. I'd get rid of it, and
replace with something else that'll disguise the house
behing. Are we looking roughly east?


P.S. Anyone recognise the landmark in the background?

I can't even see one!


Looking roughly North

Some kind of bridge. Looks like one of those things for carrying
pipes across a canal running through a chemical works.


This is turning into a saga. In fact, an Elder Edda...OK, I'll get me
coat.
