Recordist's notes

Surrounded by high derelict building, with crumbling white concrete this square bizarrely has a covered raised area in its midst. Unclear what for. A large drinks lorry finishes its delivery and drives off. A couple embrace, kissing passionately at length, under trees along the edge. The building site workers are stopping for the day, dragging barriers across the entrances and locking them. They pass bu chatting towards their cars.

Written by Peter Cusack on radio aporee ::: maps.
