Watched New Town Utopia recently. A superb film about the new town project that was/is Basildon. At times it's depressing but it's also a testament to the human spirit trying to survive and somehow thrive, creatively, when the post-war optimism of fresh lives for London families has long-since faded. It's most famous sons are Depeche Mode; their pilgrims still visit, apparently. But it's the efforts of the unknowns that provide the heart of this film. Highly recommended.
Featured on this page are three city-related pictures I created over the last year.
