To the south, near the polder landscape, there were residensial areas with terraced houses and private gardens, intended for a new group of suburbanites. So in addition to the physical separation between north and south there was also a noticeable mental schism. The residents of B, B,who still largely worked in industry, felt clearly connected to the B. By contrast the suburban dwellers south of the B adepted a more suburban lifestyle, and looked more to the nearby green and prosperous villages of neighbourhoods were still located. The image of B plummeted in the eyes of the outside world too, fostered by the immediately perceptible effects of industry on the environment. Whereas in the first half of the twentieth century the pipes of the oil refinery still guaranteed economic and technological progress,now,with the wind in the wrong direction,they produced above all lots of smells and pollution. Studies showed that the quality of the drinking water and the air in B were among the poorest in the B. In addition, the ground turned out to be seriously polluted because the new town had been built on land raised using polluted silt dredged from the docks. Several serious explosions and accidents that took place in the Shell plants in the same period did not improve matters either. In 1968 an explosion in the Shell refinery killed two employees and shattered windows and cracked ceilings deep into B. A total of 15000sq.m. of glass had to be replaced. Reports on B in local newspapers became more frequent and increasingly grim. 以上です。地名はBとなっています。回答頂けると嬉しいです。 長文ですが、宜しく御願いします。
