A few years ago I published a series
of miniature books that
celebrated some of my deliciously
small scale adventures on
British public transport.
These were Road Movies so small they
weren’t even films at all but
very hand made books with wonky
bindings and gluey thumb-prints
and rubber stamped
illuminations…
adventures in Brixton, Bromley South,
Kings Cross and Penge……
I have seen fit to add a
further two volumes to this series,
being Road Movies that dont actually even
involve any moving at all……….
Liver & Lights No. 63
A Lenzie of the Soul
My mum lived in the
Glasgow satelite townlet of Lenzie
for 40 years, right next door
to the railway station that would have
carried her into the exciting metropolis
of Glasgow in 9 minutes flat.
Terrified by the very rumour of the
jagged rock tunnel that lay in wait
before any train could emerge
into Queen Street and crippled
by claustrophobia,
never once did she set foot on that platform,
leaving her trapped
in a 'Lenzie of the Soul’.
Lavishly illustrated with
some new drawings and
some fragments of my mothers life…
Liver & Lights.No. 64
Killfuckingmarnock.
…is a commemoration of British
Saturday evenings
watching the burbling teleprinter spraying forth
the football results
whilst we hungry kids awaited our tea
and the coming of Dr Who.
Oh, how were ‘transported’ to all those
mysterious placenames
where the beautiful game was played,
The Thistley Particks,
the howling Rovers of Raith and,
as my dad always amusingly pronounced it,
Kilfuckingmarnock!
Lovingly illustrated with 8 new
rubber stamp prints. Eat Killy Pie!
I have made 50 copies of each Book.
When they are gone, they are gone.

Cressingham Gardens estate
above the western corner of Brockwell Park
was built between 1967 and 1979 to the designs of
Lambeth Borough Architects, l
ed by Edward Hollamby.
It is impressive for the quality of the accommodation
and layout, and for its striking landscape setting.
it has extensive Gardens and
a magical community spirit and is a
rare example of corporate sensitivity with
regard to human scale housing in an urban setting.
The estate is currently under threat
from proposals by Lambeth Council
to demolish and redevelop the site for profit.
