SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND

Photos by Ken Abbott. There is something endlessly fascinating about watching the world go by through the window of a moving train. The view it gives is unique, and the perspective it offers is unlike any other. The landscape unfolds as a continuous sequence of decisive moments, whilst the dimension of speed turns the familiar into something altogether different. Somewhere in England is an exhibition of photography by Ken Abbott that explores this unique way of seeing the world. Some images embrace the energy and abstraction created by movement, while others form a documentary record of passing places. Between March and June, Ken travelled nearly 2000 miles around England on 46 trains, passing through 474 stations camera in hand, photographing the ever-changing scene passing by the window. This exhibition brings together the most evocative images from those journeys, offering a unique perspective on England in 2026.
