While searching for the subject of our previous post, Wardsend Cemetery, we came across what appeared to be a barely used rail track, and opted to follow it.
From here we found several places of great interest, most prominently what appeared to be an abandoned water tower.
Thought to serve the railway in it's early years, the tower would have been used by steam engines to replenish water during a time when large amounts of water were essential in the functioning of trains.
The tower was somewhat difficult to reach, behind railings as well as adjacent to a train track and steep hills.
However this has not presented local graffiti artists from making the tower their own.
Phlegm, one of the most exciting new street artists in the world, appears to have adorned the tower with two huge characters, drawn in his signature style on the towers railway facade.
