Stalybridge Saturday: Green House Effect


Another photo from Waterloo Road in central Stalybridge.

Rather unusual to find in the centre of a town is this pair of brick cottages, one of which is totally clad with ivy!

The cottages are directly opposite the bus station and are next to the Old Fire Station, seen here two weeks ago.

A date stone on the left hand cottage reads AS 1920.

  2. A lovely shot of the green-house effect which also works as a good insulator although it eats awayat the stone and woodwork.

  3. I like the ivy very much. Here we try to pull it down as it damages the paint and the stucco...it really sticks. Different kind of ivy, probably. Great photo!

  4. The wise man keeps it within bounds.
    Once it gets to the eaves the damp factor in the wall will increase.
    It attacks the gutters and the rain does not drain off the roof correctly.
    Yes - there are different kinds but they all have the same nasty habits in varying degrees.
    Regards
