RESERVOIR HOTEL, EARLSWOOD... (My poem about an old postcard of the Reservoir Hotel, Warwickshire...)

 Reservoir Hotel, Earlswood…



Lanes stripped of tarmac

And their broken white lines,

No limiting junctions

Or lollipop shaped signs…


Inn stripped of adverts

And its bland lack of charm,

Merely a functional hostelry

Near a neighbourhood farm…


Earlswood stripped of vehicles

And pollution and noise.

Horses, carts and simplicity

Mourn its past rural poise…


Pete Ray


A remarkable image of the Reservoir Hotel with carts, a bicycle and a total absence of traffic, houses and scurrying people…

...& A FEW YEARS AGO...
