An essay by PETER SANGER

¶ In this essay, Peter Sanger considers the imaginative implications arising from the fact that a near-derelict rural road’s name is spelled differently on each of its ends. This essay was originally published in Sangers trade collection Spar: Words in Place (2002) and has been reprinted in this special letterpress-printed limited edition to mark its 20th anniversary.
