The Forgotten Greenhouse

I took the Steel Horse for a ride to one of Tungelsta's forgotten greenhouses. This is Stenvreten, at Karlsro in Tungelsta. Many years ago a woman called Viran Eklöf lived and worked here, but the greenhouse and her little home have been abandoned for many years now. In a few weeks time the fields around the old greenhouse skeleton will be filed with wild flowers, but I did see a few on yesterdays visit.

Ugly Tungelsta

Once upon a time Tungelsta was famous for all the greenhouses. In total there has been more than 90 nurseries here. These ugly greenhouse skeletons at Gamla Tungelstavägen and Södertäljevägen haven't been in use for many years. I don't know why the owners have left them like this. Every time I look at them I see another smashed window so at least it gives the kids something to do.

Behind the spruce hedge

Shot this photo on my Sunday morning promenade. The spruce hedge has been partly cut down along Blomgårdsvägen at Ålsta in Tungelsta. Behind it, the greenhouse skeletons from what's left of the Wall family business. Just to the right here is the Kryddgården complex. Only one of the Wall brothers alive today, I don't have any info about this property, but it is pretty much surrounded by the building site.
