You could create quite an impressive slate cliff along the side of that brick wall there - get some shallow troughs for some alpine plants on top and it'd look great - would really improve that part of the garden too. You could even go mad and make an incline up there - with a mamod stationary for the winding engine!  |

That water tower, being an old bean tin or whatever, will rust and rot away in the rain

| I'd get some sleepers burried on end to act as a retainer for all that slate! Some nice little strips of hardwood would work a treat and look great too! |
