To think that we were on the "Emmaline Pankhurst Trail" in Reading and London, and didn't even realize it! Monuments have a way of being placed where people of the time think is a prominent location, only to have the tide of time change the course of the river of activity, to put the memorial in what becomes a backwater.
I think so too. I wondered about how those local pilgrimage sites were absorbed and even erased from memory as the industrial revolution and urbanization reorganized the landscape. What was lost? What can still be found?
