Many of the allotments on the side of Woodend Lane have been abandoned (mainly due to the work of vandals) and some of the trees have been felled. Now a view is afforded across the valley of the Gower Hey Brook. Some allotments half-way down the valley are still maintained. Werneth Low can be seen on the horizon.
Compare with the view in April 2011 and the one from the opposite direction about a century ago.
There is another view of the allotments on Hyde DP Xtra.

I like this shot - such a jumble of things and a fine composition. I also like the concept of allotments.
ReplyDeleteSad to see such neglect. Bet it was very nice at one time!
ReplyDeleteOh my why they neglected this place. ^_^

that's a shame, but you did a great job shooting this.
ReplyDeleteI seen the other photo first...really liked seeing this shot while at the same time it is sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where the fence is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a ramshackle mess.
ReplyDeleteThere are all kinds of little bits and pieces of fences in this photo!

Great view from the allotments. Too bad they have been abandoned.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame! How nice it would be for the owners to work these allotments again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of a jumbled mess of lumber! It is a shame to see properties abandoned and destroyed, but it does make for interesting photos!
