Supporting wall for former Westcroft Mills elevation
Introduction
The photograph on this page of Supporting wall for former Westcroft Mills elevation by John as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

A rough track on the left of the picture leads to a tree lined plateau on top of this embankment and out of shot on the left is the vast ivy covered wall which forms the elevation for Great Horton Tesco car park. The slope to the right of the wall is strewn with litter through fly-tipping and at the base of the slope is the remains of a tall fence which was clearly once used to secure this site. Clearly this wasn't a success and besides myself, a number of young people use this route to return from football games in the park or generally as a quiet place. I am trying to cultivate patches of the site whilst retaining its wild nature (for which read, there is an enormous thorn tree growing in the middle of this site which is unlikely to be coming up anytime soon...).
