Those of you with a facination for old structures or railways may be
interested in this massive retaining wall, which I photographed and
mapped today:

it's at: 52.4830139, -1.8868312 and is behind Millennium Point,
reatnig the mound on which the Ormistoni Academy sits.

It was apparntly built by the railway company (L&B or LNWR) who had a
yard there.

I'm told it has some form of heritage protection (perhaps locally
listed?) but haven't yet traced a record of that.
