| When the Westway was built over 30 years ago a wasteland
was created under the massive structures. Here Irish travellers were given
their first official site in London, a place where they were allowed to
live without being asked to relocate. Today around 70 travellers live here
in an amazing and somewhat surreal village which they have created under
the roaring motorway. |

| Outside the ghost town of Jerome, Arizona lies Gold King
Mine, a deserted gold mine now inhabited by Don Robertson. Don finds old
cars in the desert and takes them back to his mine where he keeps over 200
machines. ”I feel I was put on this earth to save beautiful old machinery
from horrible death by blast furnace” says Don, but many machines
are gracefully rusting away next to a sign with the inscription “Rust
In Peace”. |

| On the barren island of Fårö, outside Sweden
on the Baltic coast, is Kuten, a rusty old gas station. Its owner, Thomas,
has carefully turned it into a junk haven and a natural meeting spot for
lovers of chromed cars, neon signs, greasy haircuts and rock’n’roll.
It is a place where cars and fridges come for their final rest, but it is
also a place where time has stood still ever since James Dean got behind
the wheel and crashed to his death in 1955. |
