Poundbury, Dorset, England

·

Has anyone ever heard of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Its a town built appear as a 18th century  village. I loathe the idea of living in a city but I would consider living in a town like this if there were a couple in the USA, depending on the state it was in.  Even though its just a facade it still speaks of desire to return to traditionalism and a culture which slides away from us at an ever increasing speed.
