“I did a little Hawksmoor/psychogeograhy walk – with John McCarthy, for BBC Radio 4. It went out this morning (Saturday Dec. 22nd 2012) at around 9.45. And can probably be excavated something.”
Still available at this link today 25th of December, a something nice and relaxing for Boxing day if you haven’t heard it already.

I found this article, “Newell Street, London” by PHILIP WILKINSON in his blog entitled “English buildings“, where the author investigates
a 9-foot-high stone pyramid “in the dappled green shade of the churchyard of St Anne’s, Limehouse”.
