Horton
At first glance,there is little in Horton to attract people.The other nearby towns have much more to offer:Bradfield has its river and historic buildings,while Newtown has shops and entertainment.The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved.For shops,there is a small supermarket,a few bargain shops,a bakery which,strangely,does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sadlooking flowers.Even so,Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns.
Firstly,it has a country park.Four thousand years ago,this was an important fort.There are no historic remains here now,but there are wonderful views over the countryside.On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents,kicking balls or flying kites.
There aren’t many job opportunities in Horton,and the roads to nearby cities aren’t really fast,but there are excellent rail links.You can be in London in an hour and a half,and other cities are less than an hour away.That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families.Houses in Horton aren’t pretty,but they’re functional and cheap.The streets are quiet and safe,and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds.It has a library,three primary schools and a secondary school,St.Mark’s.It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds.The town also has a swimming and a sports centre,and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages.
