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