http://www.martinjennings.com/betjeman.html
In November 2007 London's St.Pancras International station was reopened following a multimillion pound redevelopment as the new terminus for the Eurostar link with Paris and Brussels. Standing on the platform is a larger-than-lifesize statue of poet John Betjeman by Martin Jennings. Betjeman had been the driving force behind efforts to save the site when it was threatened by development plans during the 1960's and the sculpture stands as a tribute from London and Continental Railways to the man who made their redevelopment of the station possible. Work on the sculpture began in May 2007. A month earlier Martin had won a competition for the commission organised by arts consultancy Futurecity Limited . The 2.1m high sculpture was completed in clay within two months and casting began immediately in Gloucestershire-based foundry Pangolin Editions While this was proceeding Martin and members of his workshop set about inscribing in Cumbrian slate the various quotations he had chosen from Betjeman's poetry that were subsequently set in the platform around the sculpture.

[1522] Slough
Title : Slough Poet : John Betjeman Date : 21 Jun 2004 Come, friendly bombs... Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq Continuing the theme... Slough John Betjeman My thanks to Frank O'Shea (the instigator of our current theme "The Poet Cranky") for re-introducing this poem to me. (I'd read it in the past, but for some reason it failed to stick in my mind). Betjeman has been described as the poet of nostalgia, but what I like about today's poem is not so much the fond remembrance of things past which runs like an undercurrent through almost all his work, as it is the unabashed loathing with which the poet describes the industrial wasteland that Slough has become. I do enjoy an old-fashioned, no-holds-barred rant... thomas.

Betjeman succeeded Cecil Day Lewis as Poet Laureate in 1972, and he was to hold the position until his death. He has been described as a 'national monument', the most popular poet Laureate of the twentieth-century. Certainly his poetry, including a verse autobiography Summoned by Bells (1960), reached a wide audience, and he raised the public profile of architectural history, particularly that of English Parish Churches, through his published writings and his popular television broadcasts on this topic. Betjeman accompanied his family on holidays in Trebetherick, North Cornwall, as a boy and he retained a life-long affection and association with the region which is reflected in his publications, including

    Christmas
    The bells of waiting Advent ring,
    The Tortoise stove is lit again
    And lamp-oil light across the night
    Has caught the streaks of winter rain.
    In many a stained-glass window sheen
    The holly in the windy hedge
    And round the Manor House the yew
    Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge,
    The altar, font and arch and pew,
    So that villagers can say
    Provincial public houses blaze And Corporation tramcars clang, On lighted tenements I gaze Where paper decorations hang, And bunting in the red Town Hall And London shops on Christmas Eve Are strung with silver bells and flowers As hurrying clerks the City leave To pigeon-haunted classic towers, And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky. And girls in slacks remember Dad, And oafish louts remember Mum, Even to shining ones who dwell Safe in the Dorchester Hotel. And is it true? and is it true? The most tremendous tale of all, The Maker of the stars and sea Become a Child on earth for me? And is it true? For if it is, No loving fingers tying strings Around those tissued fripperies
