Calling at...

Using an LED dot-matrix railway destination board Danny takes the viewer on an imaginary journey through 600 of Britain’s quirkiest genuine placenames. Chosen for the images they conjure up, or their unexpectedness as placenames, others are nonsensical or sniggeringly naughty.

Programmed LED Display Panel, 200x1000mm.
First shown in 'Strong Silent Type' at Walthamstow Village Window Gallery, Nov 2017.

Full list of selected destinations below. Best read aloud, rather like a radio broadcaster might specify a caller's location, "thanks to Mrs. Smith from Laxobigging and Mr Jones from Steven's Crouch".
