"Each night I lower myself down
Into the magic depths of sleep
Oblivious to that embracing
Moment when it takes me deep
Into the silent world of nowhere
There,with others,animals and insects,
Even flowers
I live the other side of life that
sleeps by day."
- Marguerite Bartley 1999

Dolly Watson died peacefully two weeks ago a few months from her 100th birthday. Dolly became embroiled in the No M11 Link Road campaign after she refused to leave her home where she was born that was due for demolition to build the road. Her home was in Claremont Road, which became the scene of the first mass direct action in an urban area against road building in 1994. She said of the protesters: "If I was queen, you'd all be knighted."
