’Town-scapes are changing. The open-plan city belongs to the past – no more ramblas, no more pedestrian precincts, no more left banks and Latin quarters. We’re moving into the age of security grilles and defensible space. As for living, our surveillance cameras can do that for us. People are locking their doors and switching off their nervous systems.’ J G Ballard Cocaine Nights

Sherborne

On our way down to Poundbury we stopped off at Sherborne in Dorset. Most historic towns have an explanatory map notice in a car park, such as the example above, although this one had been amusingly, in my opinion, amended. Incidentally, I didn't think that Sherborne was shit.
