Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shops and Houses Upon the south side of London, about fifteen miles from the city, and upon the nearest borders of Kent and Surrey, lies a small town which combines the characteristics of a suburb with those of a country village. It has some factories, and, near the railway, many poor little ugly houses; but the town itself is built around a really beautiful common, and the houses one sees from this common belong to a time when building was rather a fine art. The country upon all hands is wide and open, rippling with hedges and small clusters of wood; and Beckwith stands so high that from chosen spots one can enjoy the most lovely stretches of green, full of a brimming vitality that is moving in its simplicity. Within the town are roads of various widths and lengths, some finished and some unfinished, bedecked with houses of all sizes; and upon one side of the central common there are a few very decorous shops which are not much altered in appearance from older days when Beckwith was still a remote village. There are also a church and an hotel with the sign of a rampant lion. The railway has changed the town. It has given it new classes and even a new district. It has given it a new society. The station has had to be enlarged and its sidings increased in number within the last few years owing to the growth of goods traffic; and there is a cluster of mean-looking shops in a side street called "Station Road."
