According to an accompanying information board, this somewhat curious display constitutes the Railway Triangle, a 'gateway garden for Sandy'. It goes on to say that the Sandy Enhancement Group have created a number of gardens for the public to enjoy. When the opportunity arose to create a new garden at the entrance to Sandy railway station a railway theme seemed most appropriate. Whether a short length of rusty track with buffer stops and a couple of old wheels set on a patch of scruffy grass really constitutes a garden is a moot point. However, here it is and it at least makes for a talking point. In the background is the Bell public house.
