Meanwhile, in Boxford high street, most shop fronts became private houses and people stayed inside. In the valley, there was a relentless wall of cold northwesterly wind. The chapter also recounts a gathering at Snape Maltings for Place: Taking the Waters , which was an exploration of the warp of water and the coast's liminal zones.
