There is a garden at the end of a blocked off road, on the outside of town, that is my entry for the City Daily Photo theme of ‘Rust and Ruins’.
In the blocked off road is a truck than once belonged to Serco.
There is an old traction engine with its front balanced on an oil drum. And lots more …
Visit City Daily Photo to see how other bloggers pictured Rust and Ruins in their own countries.
A whole lot of rust! A good take on the theme, though I wouldn’t want to live next door to the owner.
interesting vechiles wonder why they are there?
Plenty of rust down Crosslands Drive
Nice one fore the theme day.
I thought that first picture was some kind of cave art at first glance! 😀
The traction engine came from the shores of Loch Ness, it fell in while a road was being made along the side of the loch.
It was recovered over 20 years ago via a raft made of scaffold and drums with an outboard motor on the back.
and 2 trips in a lorry back to Abingdon.
Still have the video somewhere of the weeks adventure 🙂
I hate to see traction engines in such a state…..is there any plan to restore it?
Strange what turns up on Tinternet.
