Since moving near the centre I've taken to walking round the streets with Jane (not like tramps you understand) and I've been continually surprised at the architecture and especially all the hidden cottages around town. The Hamlet area is especially nice.<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm waffling now.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-51405859669359635642011-06-16T12:52:23.202+01:002011-06-16T12:52:23.202+01:00ROG - quite

There's a couple of other issues here - the viaduct is owned by the railway, whilst the surrounding land is owned by the local council. The railway have responsibility for the upkeep of the structure.<br /><br />Much of the surrounding land is road or concrete, so there aren't that many places where ivy and vines can be grown. If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you'll see that nature has taken a hand, so there's ivy creeping up the structure in one of the few spots where there's growing space right next to it!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-26777090196706775812011-06-16T12:45:24.030+01:002011-06-16T12:45:24.030+01:00since it's a listed building, does that mean o...since it's a listed building, does that mean one can't let ivies & vined flowers/fruits grow until the viaduct is covered completely...like a huge hedge?petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-30240960551050616772011-06-16T12:39:11.956+01:002011-06-16T12:39:11.956+01:00something quite steadying about a viaduct, which m...something quite steadying about a viaduct, which matchess form and function well.<br /><br />ROG, ABC Wednesday teamRoger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
