title	The Demolition of the Bacon Factory, Ipswich, Suffolk - 20th February 2013
intro	The no-man's-land inbetween railway tracks and the rest of the normal world is something of a perennial favourite: big old-school engineering mixed with rust, gentle decay and seedy dereliction - a strange limbo zone which provides something of a window into the soul of a country. Thus, the twice-a-week commute in and out of London provides an occasional diversion where the passing of time is marked, over the weeks, by the coming and going of graffiti or the occasional violent destruction of a trackside building (currently the old Marconi building in Chelmsford and here with the old bacon factory on the outskirts of Ipswich). It's also where a simmering under-the-radar war is waged between graffiti taggers and The Man, especially along the tracks between Bethnal Green and Liverpool Street Station, where the brick walls were all sprayed a uniform dark brown just before the outbreak of the Olympics, and where new spots of silver-sprayed graffiti are re-appearing like the tentative first flowers of spring.
