Old walls, like this one, fascinate me. This is actually part of an old railway bridge. Trains passing underneath might have taken troops, or supplies, on the first part of their journey to France in 1914. In contrast, we’re looking at this year’s new growth of ivy (the paler leaves.)
Those bricklayers knew how to build, all right. It just saddens me that they had to do that work for a pittance. But that is another story.
It's kind to share!
Ivy will grow anywhere it has the chance, it does add character to a building.
Lovely photo and interesting to consider the millions of people that must have passed through it. I have an old red brick wall around much of my garden and I love it. It gives the garden so much character.
Very nice and it’s so interesting that the wall looks almost new. xx
I always love the sight of ivy on old brick walls, it gives such a lovely charm I think

I get the same sense of wondering about the past when rambling through a cemetery. It’s fascinating to imagine what the lives of those beneath the sod were like.

I love how ivy adds real character.
Thank you for linking up
There is such history in those bricks! Wonderful photo x
I love the look of Ivy climbing walls, looks so beautiful to me
It does look lovely! What I love is how the ivy is making the walls and brick softer to the eyes. #mysundayphoto
