An alien lands…takes a look around…
This is a hamlet. A pretty little place with a few dwellings.
My archive tells me that a future transport pioneer was born here. No blue plaque but there is one marking the location of his last days 300 earth-miles away on the other side of this country.
It seems there had been an earthling settlement an earth-mile or so east of here about 5500 years ago. Time has moved on and there is what looks like a fortress, but isn’t, atop a hill where recently it is reported that a famous stolen car was dumped.
Going a little north-east to discover more I enter the main town. Earthlings found valuable materials in the ground here and created shafts and tunnels to extract it. A statue of one of these men, sculpted in bronze, stands in commemoration. A short walk from the statue I find an artfully decorated house in which they view moving pictures – seems to have been in honour of their ruler.
Not staying long. I need to transport elsewhere. See you in a while.
