Description

A desolate, rather unremarkable wasteland near the Woodroffe Mall. The lack of any fencing makes it useless to survivors.

History

The poet TS Eliot visited Malton. Ironically, while suffering a nervous breakdown.

TS Eliot made a largely unknown trip to Malton in 1919. He happened to drive past this wasteland, and was struck by the forlorn look of the place, which matched his own depressed feelings at the time. It was April, and looking at the puny tulips beginning to blossom on the edges of the mud, beaten down by the drizzling rain on that day, he said, "April is the cruelest month..." which later became the first line of the famous poem known as "The Waste Land." Unfortunately, Malton and this wasteland never received the credit due for inspiring one of the great poems of the 20th century.
