The whole area has a mass of large granite boulders left during the last ice age and I love the idea of these huge stubborn things left unmoved for centuries. An abandoned quarry town nearby, Dogtown, is now a natural park with the old roads acting as footpaths. Here, a philanthropist, Roger Babson hired stone cutters to inscribe boulders on the old common with words of inspiration during the Great Depression. I have no idea what will happen here but I shall let you know.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1093\" style=\"width: 552px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emilyspeed.co.uk\/news\/2013\/05\/25\/the-boulder-project\/babson-boulders\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1093\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1093\" alt=\"Map of the inscriptions\" src=\"http:\/\/emilyspeed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/babson-boulders.jpg\" width=\"552\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emilyspeed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/babson-boulders.jpg 552w, https:\/\/emilyspeed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/babson-boulders-300x268.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Map of the inscriptions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow I shall be heading for Cape Ann, Massachusetts for a few weeks, to work on a short research project.
