Project description:
Temporary road signs that mark the limits of the Yellow Pages.
The Pennines are often referred to as the “back-bone” of England. Stretching from the Derbyshire Dales, to the Scottish borders, they make up the largest hill and mountain range in England. In Cumbria, these dark and foreboding hills, form a geographical border with North Yorkshire, County Durham and Northumberland, but they also form a more intellectual barrier. As the border between the north West and the North East they have come to symbolise the last frontier. Phone books stop at the Pennines, as do the majority of bus services. Only two railway lines brave the crossing. The weather too, is influenced by the centrality of the limestone spine. – Warm and wet to the west and governed by the Gulf Stream, cold and dry to the east and subject to bitter Scandinavian winters. |
