Arlington Row, Bibury, Glos


Comment on Arlington Row, Bibury

My father spent part of his childhood in one of these cottages, probably in the 1920s or 30s. He remembered it as being rather cold and damp. He grew up to be the writer PH (Howard) Newby and was the first winner of the Booker Prize with his novel "Something To Answer For".

Idyllic country scenes became iconic once the majority of us were living in urban squalor, or, in my view worse, suburbia. Read Paxman's book!
