The brambles growing through the fence by the railway near Thistley Fields are so strong they are bending it.
The railway line is the one running from Manchester Piccadilly via Hyde Central and Woodley to Rose Hill (Marple) and is the one crossed by the Private Bridge I posted yesterday.
The house in the background is on Apethorn Lane. Just a bit further on there is a footbridge under the railway line where paths lead either to Apethorn Lane and a bridge over the Peak Forest Canal or to a tunnel under the canal and a path to Gibralter Bridge over the River Tame and a steep climb up to Haughton Green.
This is one of a set of photographs I took on a Sunday afternoon walk on 21st April. You can see all the photographs and a map showing their location on the Geotrip website.
A contribution to Friday Fences.
that house looks very old back there...is it abandoned?
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly old but it is certainly not abandoned
DeleteWith brambles this thick you don't need a fence anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a tangle around the fence.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting place surrounding this scene with many choices of places to walk and things to see. Enjoy the weekend. Pamela
