Under the railway

This is one of the huge brick arches beneath the railway, close by the river. It's an overgrown and lonely spot that doesn't automatically feel like a good place to linger but it does have that strange fascination of out of the way and neglected places. Today I was there with two old friends who have come to visit for the weekend; we came through this way while on a long rambling walk that loosely followed the river loop that encircles the town centre.
