The image of frank was taken in Bryn in 1994 while he was walking his dog, Frank to Bryn is was a character of the local area of Bryn, a small suburb of Wigan that only attribute that it has a unmanned train station, Frank was the type of person who greeted and spoken to strangers, with an unrecognizable accent only after a long while did one comprehend what frank was talking about.

Once a character like Frank passes away, so does part of the area losers a part of it's charm & identity, does this construct a diffusion community once a character synonymous with the folk law, a talking point dies. I paid tribute to this man,This was reflected in the center point of the area the train station, there you can leave and return to the place know as Bryn (which is Welsh for hill)

Frank of bryn this was a temporary installation along the white wall of unmanded train stashion since 1992 , This live size frank giving the impression of observing and engageing as the train go pass the image of frank was eye level with you.
