Dunvant Brickwork in the Winter.

Just a few pictures I took while walking my parents dogs, it was cold and the sun was surprisingly bright. Its still quite picturesque even though all the trees are dying back, and the pond was completely frozen over which for some reason incites people to chuck anything and everything on the ice.

It must be year since I've seen ice this thick on the Brickworks pond I remember walking across it when I was younger which is something it didn't want to try today mainly down to common sense, which is something the dogs seem to lack.

Dunvant Brickworks Part 2

A few shots of the remains of the brickworks as some of the ones on the first post are quite blurred.

The old railway tunnel cut through about 50 meters of rock, now bricked up with small gaps creating a sanctuary for Bats.
Some kind of bunker now sealed off.
The overflow from the Brickworks pond.
The brickworks pond and the remains of the park bench and stand for the life buoy, which were vandalized beyond repair shorty after being put there.
I thought this tree growing sideways in one of the ponds looked like something out of Aliens.
And finally bright yellow fungus that was growing on a few dead trees.
