Desolation Row: Hertford

Bircherley Green Hertford is being redeveloped and to see part of the town centre today made me think about the Dylan song of that name. To be fair to the builders are being incredible tidy but it's just sad to see it like this.

 

I include two verses of this wonderful morbid tone which seem to fit the bill.

 

They're selling postcards of the hanging

They're painting the passports brown

The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

The circus is in town

 

Here comes the blind commissioner

They've got him in a trance

One hand is tied to the tightrope walker

The other is in his pants
