Diary 2014-06
Where: Stevenage
When: 8-14th June 2014
My home town, newly built in a socialist post-war euphoria of equality, destroyed by Thatcherite capitalism. Exciting to grow up in, sad to return to, always nice to see family. New Stevenage is old and tired. Old Stevenage has recovered some mojo, with its numerous C18th coaching inns now a pleasant mix of services, shops, cafes and pubs - longevity more durable than political idealism. Surprisingly, one entry in “Phaidon’s”, which I forgot to go and look at.
