East Coker in the news again
The Sunday Times has as one of its rather hysterical- but still distressing- front page headlines today (14 August 2011):
"T S Eliot's East Coker to be concrete Waste Land"
The main article (p. 5) reports that East Coker could be "swamped by an eco-town".
The Guardian wrote about the same issue on 20 March 2011

Second part
Some books which are still available:
East Coker
T.S. Eliot reads his Four Quartets: Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages & Little Gidding
Will the residents of the village, and their supporters, manage to persuade the government to apply for a UNESCO World Heritage listing for East Coker?
