Rail Garden, Garden of Cosmic Speculation, Portrack House 29
Rail Garden
Old Rail Viaduct was built in 1845 and due to it being weakened (together with the sandstone viaduct, which is the entry point to the garden) by coal freight, was replaced by the New bridge. Charles Jencks in helping to design the new bridge, had engineers construct a 2-linear-acre garden for him along the original tracks using the detritus from the old bridge and the railway bed.
