Inhaltsangabe

Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale are on a mission to record the ordinary and extraordinary details of leisure, landscape, and lifestyle in 21st-century Britain. With a wry eye to the humor of their subjects, their book covers locations from across the British isles in themed sections exploring such aspects of Britishness as gardening, shop fronts, seaside resorts, and our national love of dogs. The appeal of the photos in the book is the familiarity of their subject matter and their celebration of overlooked detail, revealing the reality of contemporary Britain. Over the past five years they have exhibited the photographs around the country in a 1969 mustard-coloured caravan—The Caravan Gallery—and the photos are accompanied by quotes from the gallery's visitor book.
