High Spen: the deterioration of the park

Another view of the park showing the ugly storage container that provides another canvas for the artistic talents of the local intelligentsia. The dilapidated, netless, tennis court can also be seen. Harder to make out is the damage to the fence, which adds to the court's unusability. Like the neighbouring bowling green, it will doubtless soon be destroyed due to 'lack of demand'. However, the tennis court and bowling green were both well used before Gateshead Council abandoned them to the vandals.
