Walled Garden

The Main Wall stands around the main perimeter of the railway. The ground used to be part of an old tennis pitch for an old house before it was disused. It is built using old english red brick. In the 1970's the Model Engineers Society restored the main structure of the wall and created portal entrance points for the trains to go through them. 
During the corse of the Society's time, the wall is home to a wide collection of wild plants and flowers. 
In 2011, the Motor Car Society lost control of one of their road rollers and broke a section of the wall at the start of the extension line. The main damage was cleared away but the hole in the wall was never repaired. Instead a garden was built in its place, using whatever undamaged bricks were salvaged as a base. It has since become an attractive feature to the railway. 
The garden is accessed by a small wooden crossing from the staff carpark and has a small walkway for access to the compost heap behind the wall.
