There is a memorial to Blake in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner. <br /><br />His grave is in an open area known as Bunhill Fields, a public green space now caught up in a property development passed by London's Mayor for the adjacent site. The blocks of high-rise flats will make the current "open" Bunfield Fields into an almost a walled-in shade. Wonder what Blake would think of that? Green and pleasant land indeed?Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-46246350947613072882016-02-17T12:29:44.393+00:002016-02-17T12:29:44.393+00:00What a great post - thank you, Penny!What a great post - thank you, Penny!Joan Lennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763862159032836768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-37890411961143717432016-02-17T11:54:49.015+00:002016-02-17T11:54:49.015+00:00Wonderful post, Penny.
