A businessman walks up to a pile of rubbish found
on a busy city street. He stops and begins to burrow into the cardboard boxes, old
furniture and sacks of rotting vegetables. Soon he is completely hidden by the
refuge.
Still hidden he rummages and moves around for a
minute or two before stirring (but strangely unrecognisable) music comes from
inside the structure.
This florid orchestral score starts quietly but
builds in intensity.
A metal pole extends from the top of the rubbish pile. A flag is unfurled from
the top of the pole and flutters in the wind. The flag is of an emblem that we
focus on as being of two men embracing - the music reaches its climax.
Independence has been declared.

Dear…paradisefound.org.uk
I waited in vain for some reliable sunshine but in the end had to make the best of another cloudy day in Paradise. Our Paradise is a small area, rather than a street, in the village of %&*^$&$%£&. %&*^$&$%£& has a very important place in the history of industrial Britain. It was here that the first ¬”#*^%&^%& in the world was !#6*%! in 1779 and it still $%^** the <>%^£&* just down the road in %$.!”%$%<>. The $^%$*^%^masters were the Quaker Darby family, who were responsible for much of the building in the area. The **&%~~ is still in operation but no longer creates the pollution of bygone years. It was the pollution that caused people to build further up the hill and create “Paradise” away from the smoke and smell of the hell below. Take a look at de Louthenbourg’s view of %&*^$&$%£& painted in 1801 to get an impression of what it must have been like to live so close to a demonic inferno.
I tried to write a list of the photographs taken but I
must have forgotten some. I hope you can make enough sense of them to be
useful.
1. the track leading to a cluster of houses in
Paradise ... and our house
2. Paradise House .... Georgian frontage but it
hides an older house
3. Paradise sign and the Youth Hostel ...once
the educational “Institute” built by the Darby family
4. I might have taken one of the foundry which
is only really visible from one end of Paradise by the Youth Hostel sorry I’m
not clear about this
5. view of the. woods and “Paradise Fields”
(which are rapidly reverting to woodland) from our house ... taken from the
upstairs landing at the back
6. as above
7. view from the conservatory towards Captain’
Coppice”... this one should be obvious if the numbers are already wrong!
8. Apple tree and water pump in the
garden...there have to be apples in Paradise!
9. view down the track
10. over to the Power Station from the top of the
track..
11. cottage on the main street in Paradise
12. The Villa said to be a copy of a house in
Richmond which was admired by a young bride. Her husband drew the house and had
it built for her here in Paradise.

13. perhaps a better shot of The Villa
14. A row of
Council houses in Paradise
15. the back of a
cottage whose name suggests that it was once a Boring Mill
16. houses in an area known as Upper Paradise
17. The White House . . .lots of iron in evidence
even the window frames
18. the woods and footpath that connects two areas
of Paradise
19. view from the footpath over
%&*^$&$%£&
20. the start of the public footpath
21. view up the track towards Upper Paradise
22. view in the opposite direction from Paradise

1814
“The Earl of Fleetwood
tied his cravat before the mirror over the fireplace with a dexterity that
always infuriated his valet.”
“Watching him from the
bed, Lady Oline Blunham thought that no man could be more attractive”
“The Earl’s lovemaking
had been fiery, passionate, and extremely satisfying”
“It would have been
impossible for any Gentleman of Fashion to be more elegant and at the
same time more masculine”.
“That they were unfaithful to their husband was
taken for granted…but what he would not accept was a women who professed her
love for him keeping her bed warm with other lovers in his absence”
“He then erased her
from his mind as if, in fact, she had never existed”
“I find it extremely frustrating to sit here in England going from Ball to Ball
and from women to women when I should be helping to put an end to Napoleon’s
tyranny over the rest of Europe.”
“I want action! I want excitement! I want
what we had together in Portugal.”
“The Earl had lately been offered a
Ministerial Post in the Foreign Office, if he wished to take it.”
“If I have to eat one more dinner over twelve
entrees”, he said, “I shall go on hunger strike.”
“Good God!” the Earl ejaculated.” You do not
mean to say it is as bad as that!”
“If he was honest, he knew that his talents,
and they were quite considerable, were being wasted, and as his friend had told
him, a life of pleasure, of making love to one woman after another, would never
satisfy him.”
“It is a house of dreams’, the Earl had often
thought to himself, and he never saw it without getting a little thrill because
it was his and because in itself it was everything he wanted his to be.”
“But the Earl always
felt in a strange way that when he humiliated a man by taking his wife into his
arms, he was humiliated”
“If he had so much as
hinted at his real feelings, it would have caused a gale of laughter and scorn
from everybody around him.”
“If he ever found her philandering with a man
like himself he would strangle her.”
“The two friends talked of horses for some
time during the meal. Then they talked about the war situation.”
“It was unheard of for a Lady – and he knew
Newman would never make a mistake about someone’s social status – to ride
unaccompanied by a groom.”
“She was very lovely, with a small
heart-shaped face that seemed to be filled by two large blue eyes.”
“I will leave at six o’clock tomorrow
morning, Papa riding Orion and leading Jupiter on a leading rein. If Orion is
skittish, I know I can rely on Jupiter to follow me, even if I cannot lead
him.”
“Nanny was however well aware that if they
did not get some money soon they would be on the verge of starvation.”
“If the Prince of Wales had gone down on his
knees before me”, she had told Gavin Borne, “I would not have hesitated for one
moment if you had wanted me to.”
“When they nuzzled with their noses against
her she felt as if she meant something special to them and it gave her a warm
feeling inside.”
“Do not worry, Papa. I will forget I am
‘Honourable’ which as far as I am concerned is not worth a penny in the open
market, and if anybody asks me who I am, I will say my name is Milton, which is
near enough to yours for me to remember it, and I have just been reading Paradise
Regained.”

1814
“You need not to be afraid of that, Monsieur!
I promise you I am very experienced.”
“Hazily, as if she
were dreaming, Salrina heard their voices. Then with a start of surprise she
realised that the man of had just spoken had a French accent.”
“One thousand pounds,” the Englishman said in
a low voice and you will have the other thousand as soon as the Regent is dead.
With what undoubtedly the Emperor will give you in addition, you will not do
badly.”
“Merci, Monsieur”
“Th’Master leaves a letter fer whoever brings
th’ ‘orse,” he said slowly.
“I am Miss Milton,” Salrina murmured, “and
all I have to do is to make the Earl realise he must go to London and save the
Prince Regent. Then I can go back to Papa first thing in the morning with an
easy conscience.”
“She thought, although she was not
sure, that there was a Rembrandt, although quite a small one, between two
magnificently gold mirrors that she was sure had been designed by Chippendale.”
“I can only apologise again,” the Earl
said, “and beg you in all sincerity to help us prevent what would be not only a
disaster to this country, but also a devastating blow to Wellington’s Armies.”
“Salrina, who was
already moving towards Jupiter, stopped.”
She knew that what the
Earl said was true, and that if the soldiers who were fighting desperately on
foreign soil learnt of such a tragedy, it would undoubtedly lower their morale
and perhaps allow the all-conquering French to be victorious once again.”
“Bring a bottle of champagne to the Library,”
the Earl ordered.
“Very good, M’Lord!”
“I have nothing to wear! How could I
appear…dressed like…this?”
“That is certainly
something any other woman except yourself, Miss Milton, would have thought of
first.”
“It was very…stupid of
me!” Salrina admitted, “but because I never have…time to worry about clothes,
it never… struck me that I should need an…evening gown in which to identify
an…assassin!”
“At the same time, with her fair hair curling
untidily over her forehead, her old and threadbare riding habit and somewhat
dilapidated riding hat, it was unlikely that the fastidious Earl of Fleetwood
would give her a second glance.”
“Salrina thought that, difficult and
disagreeable though he might be, the Earl was the most handsome man she had
ever seen and it would be impossible for one of his family not to be
good-looking.”
“My Nanny always said: ‘I’ll make you into a
gentleman if I have to beat the devil out of you.” The Earl replied. “And she
did.”
”You look as if you
have just emerged from the lake at Fleet, or else floated down from a Planet to
bemuse and bewitch us human beings!”
“It would have been impossible for her to
come to Carlton House wearing anything she owned herself.”
“Then she looked across the room to see him
laughing at something a very beautiful lady, festooned with rubies, her
décolletage was so low that Salrina blushed when she looked at it.”
“At last she saw that standing just in front
of the Prince, who was turning from the contemplation of the picture to greet
him was the Frenchman. It was impossible not to recognise his long nose, his
foxy face and dark hair and eyes.”
“He flung himself almost as if he flew
through the air at the Frenchman, knocked his right hand holding the dagger up
in the air, and at the same time punched him with all his strength in the
face.”
paradisefound.org.uk
1814
“How is it possible in Carlton House of all
places that she, from the depths of the country and of no social consequence
whatsoever, had been able to save the Prince Regent and very nearly lose her
own life in the effort?”
She had seen when she
undressed there was a little red mark on her breast where the point of the
dagger had rested.”
“He paused as he spoke, and before Salrina
realised what was happening, his arms went round her and his lips took
possession of hers.”
“For a moment it was
impossible to breathe, impossible to think. Then as she knew the Earl was
kissing her she was suddenly aware it was something she had wanted and longed
for even though she had never expressed it even to herself.”
“As his lips became
more possessive, more demanding against the softness and innocence of hers, she
knew that he was part of her fantasy and of her dreams, and part too of the
beauty she found everywhere. But it was more than that.”
“She could feel the
Earl’s vibrations, of which she had been aware from the very first, linking her
to him, and his kisses made he whole body thrill in a way she had never
imagined possible.”
“ I love …you! I…I did
not…know until this moment…but I…love you!”
“As I love you!” the
Earl said in a very deep voice.
“My darling, I have so much to teach you
about love.”
“I…I did not know it
was…like this!”
“Like what” he asked.
“Like…shafts of
lightening running through me…or perhaps sunshine…except that it burns!”
“That is the
beginning,” the Earl said “I will make you burn, my beautiful one, until we are
both consumed by our love and you will know that nothing else in the world is
of any consequence.”
“Salrina wanted to say again that she did not
understand, but his lips were on hers and he kissed her until she felt as if
the room disappeared.”
“They were flying in
the darkness of the sky up towards a light which drew them like a magnet and
which she thought must be a Heaven where they could be together.”
“She believed that what he was offering her
was wrong and wicked, and also, although it seemed so beautiful, was ugly and
degrading.”
“Good bye! I shall love you all my life…but I
love you too much to do what you are…asking of me!”
“As she heard the iron gates of Fleet close
behind her, Salrina felt she was being shut out of Paradise.”
“Because it was a pain to look at it and to
know whom it belonged, she tried to shut her eyes, but even so, she was aware
of the pole on which the Earl’s standard flew when he was at home. She thought
it was like him, strong and upright against the sky, and to anybody like
herself out of reach.”

High on the throne the gorgeous Pearl
sat, deep within her, Will (whose portion is so small) shot with his upright
bliss. He ended frowning, his stain would be repulst in the womb. He let his
impotence shelter in hideous groans and the
inevitable shrink covered his
magnificence. All thoughts ended his desire, which might rise when strength
renews. The scar spread until the huge men, their mouths wandering, put the
proud prick up Will and found no shame. The flood of joy with one small drop
inflamed his right hand, the mouths trembled as a sudden, excessive lust
overtook his mother. None can resist the vast and round place of bliss destined
to force his Father to ruin intercourse. At last his broken tackle extended,
his golden bigness fraught with lies.

Paradise
Cottage
Paradise
Dear… paradisefound.org.uk
Both my wife and I were very
interested in the project you’ve asked us to participate in and so enclosed is
the camera with shots of our particular piece of “paradise.”
I understand that some
background information will be of assistance when you compile the results.
Brief History
The cottage was built about
170 years ago and stands in just over 1/3 of an acre. We believe the house was
originally built to provide accommodation for a superintendent / manager of the
local Workhouse. The first picture shows the approach to the property and in
the distance part of what was the Workhouse, now a hospital. The track leading
to the property (Seen in the picture) was originally known as Paradise Row:
unfortunately there are no street signs indicating this.
Paradise Row contained a
number of Victorian terraced houses, we assume originally to provide
accommodation for “Workhouse employees.” These were demolished about 25 years
ago to make way for a new school and playing field.
The surrounding properties
and land have changed hands and shape many times over the years. I have
historic documents going back to the beginning of the last century and it’s my
intention in the future to sort these out, along with some local
investigations, to get a more definitive statement regarding the areas past.
Paradise - Does it live up to its name? We believe it does.
Our family has lived here for nearly 20 years. It provides a
feeling of living in the countryside and yet is only 5 minutes walk to the
centre of ---------- with all its amenities. The unique location means few
people, including the police, know of its existence. This means we live in
peace and quiet away from the negatives of today’s society - crime, hooligans,
traffic, litter and general people pollution - yet we are an integral part of
city life. All this allowed our children and now our grandchildren to play out
in safety - something most children these days can’t do.
I hope this provides you with an insight into “paradise” and
should you wish to discuss or gain further information, please don’t hesitate
to contact us.
Yours truly…

“Yeah see it up there, name all in lights, oh ‘the
all new BUILDER 0220 is designed to change your awareness of home-space’ is it?
Well they aren’t worth one old Yen if you ask me.”
“At least when you used the
0110 models you knew who was in control. If you asked for a quick home
reconstruction they would just make it look like a solar retentive dream
dwelling from the 2020’s or some more historical shit. But this new type just
asks too many questions, I mean if it’s ‘do you want the magnificent opaque
dome extension?’ or ‘shall we create the Spirit of Niagara in your bathroom?’
that’s fine. I know they’re not entirely
techno but when it started saying ‘Your emotion-to-environ rating is 7.4, but
is this sufficient?’ Well how should I know? Sufficient, its got to be
defective, I mean seriously fried. All I want is some virtual wallpaper like
everybody else. Yeah change the look of everything in my home but don’t
expect me to feel satisfied. If I were I wouldn’t need the damn thing in
the first place.”

a) Oh my! Help! There is no way I can cope with
this, please change back
right
now!
b) What new order? I didn't even know there was an
old order.
c) I have in this briefcase a brand spanking newer
order.
d) A part of the Old Order of Things is lying broken by the roadside.
There is a set of
instructions printed on its
under carriage:
“If there is a New Order of Things collect; a set of drawing pins; a map
of a world containing only the husks of dead ants; five varieties of green
fruit. Assemble in a hierarchy with the dead ant map at the top, the drawing
pins at the bottom. You should ensure that this new society is cohesive and
does not rely on the outmoded systems of catapillarism or communianism – use
strong glue or sticky tape. Thereafter you must hope (nay pray) that an
advanced race will descend (or ascend remember The Mole People) and use their
superior technology to elevate your simple structure into a terrible force that
will usurp the New Order and hold sway over the planet in a purge of radiant
light never to be extinguished...”
