Taken today on the Parkland Walk, a disused railway line in Highgate, north London.
I'll miss the Green Man when I move.

Another visitor from [livejournal.com profile] urban_decay dropped by to see more pictures. It is always nice to see pictures from the UK, especially of nature claiming a place where man thought he had conquered all with industrialisation. There is something special about abandoned railway structures.

I wandered around the remains of what used to be a major station in Sheffield back when it had 2 of the things the other week, pictures are here: http://jez.fotopic.net/show_collection.php?id=106683

They aren't as good as your pictures mind. I plan to go looking for old railway lines around here in the summer (there is one which used to cut through the peak district to Manchester). Maybe if I am ever in London for long enough I could wander over to the Parkland Walk.

Have just realised that this walk runs to Alexandra Palace, which is where I am going to be in a week and a bit. Shame I will be too busy to go and wander though. Maybe I'll be able to grab the odd bit of time.

If you do manage it, you'll go right past my house...
