JohnLindsay visited on 14th Apr 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 2 Access: 4 This is a case of the words and things for this pops up as a timber circle, and I am presuming it is in the right place to be a load of other things, almost all the terms we need. See words and things, though I don't know how to reference this. I found the two volumes in Chelmsford Library, 1981 on the cursus, but I don't want to have to repeat this text there, and the 1987 on this, which they don't call a timber circle. It is now a mess. It needs a spiral of virtue, perhaps with YOI to make something of it, and could be a real celebration. I wonder where to start? The industrial estate and the housing estate show that we have unlearned rather a lot about planning.
