Gareth E. Rees is author of ‘Unofficial Britain: Journeys Through Unexpected Places‘ (Elliot & Thompson). In this presentation, hosted by October Books on 19th November 2020, Gareth talked about his emotional relationship with a factory chimney…. the phenomenon of council estate poltergeists…. his hunt for cryptobeasts lurking in Scotland’s industrial edgelands… Neolithic roundabouts in retail parks…. satanic messages in haunted multi-storey car parks… ritualistic folk offerings in underpasses… and the mysterious Concrete Henge of the M6.
