Takeley and Little Canfield

Takeley is a village that lets an international airport sleep in its spare room, then acts surprised when the neighbours keep turning up with suitcases. Cooper's End was flattened to make room for the cargo sheds, so every other End and Green strung along the old Roman road has good reason to keep its paperwork in order. Buyers who came for the countryside and were shocked by the planes never looked at a map. Buyers who came for the ten-minute run to a Malaga flight looked at nothing else.
