AN UNLOVELY WAKE
• “All those who’are interested in the arts of building are horrified at the extent and quality of the speculative builders’ work. I suppose it is the work of the speculative builder that hag really called into bjeng thp Council for the Preservation of Rural England,” says ,Mr Stanley C, Ramsay. “During tho nineteenth century this very low grade of building was confined to the towns and onp only visited these towns under compulsion by journeys from railway station to railway station. The coming of the motor car changed all thi s so that we now get these paleo-teehnic hutments littered all over the countryside in much the same manner that the uninstructed picknieke- litters up the pleasant places and retreats; onlv intsend of paper bags he leaves behind him a mess of little pink and ’ white homes.”
