A dispute between neighbours in Victorian England which rocked a sleepy coastal village on the edge of the Lake District has left an enduring legacy.
The owners of a detached property on Stankelt Road in Silverdale, Lancs, decided to build a second home in the garden. Unfortunately the new build loomed over the neighbouring house.
So in response the owners built a limestone wall around 30 meters high and 18 inches thick, which still stands today.
Known as the spite wall, the structure stands as a legacy to the ferocity of the dispute which is said to date back to 1885.
The current owner of The Limes which faces the wall said: 'We really don't know too much about it given this happened over a hundred years ago. They built the wall to spite the owner of this house.
