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

I like the one of the tree growing through/round the brick wall :-)

We'll have been very near you, then. It used to lead up to Muswell Hill train station, of which there is virtually no sign now. It's a great walk. I'm particularly fond of the derelict platforms at Highgate, where I seem to remember [livejournal.com profile] dickon_edwards had a load of photos taken.

Number 5 and 8 are particularly nice.

Number five is amazing.....its as though nature was literally emerging out ouf the brickwork and somehow makes me want to go write something inspiring, (looks around vaguely for a pen).

Just dropped in from [livejournal.com profile] urban_decay - those pictures of the tree roots and the brick wall are stunning!

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.
