framing suggestion:
This shed looks distinctly like it's been made from old railway sleepers, and from the evidence in
the foreground I'd say that Dr Beeching, the Destroyer of Railways, was here in the 1960's
with his malevolent axe, making people miserable with his unbridled devastation. This is at
Kingsdown, a minor but pleasant town between Deal and Dover on the southeast coast. I
don't know if a railway ever did pass through here - perhaps a local branch off the main Dover
to Margate line did, in which case it would almost certainly have been closed down by Beeching.
Some parts of the country are still incensed about those cuts, especially where local bus
services have now been cut as well, leaving communities isolated and very dependent on the
car.
Yet apparently we need to spend billions on yet more rails links across London, mainly, it
seems, for the benefit of the shop owners in Bond Street, and an appalling amount of money
on a new high-speed rail link between London and Manchester which will cut the journey time
by about eight minutes. Where is Mr Beeching now, I wonder?
