Artist's Description
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Station Platform
The small town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is famous for having the longest place name in Europe at 58 characters in length. The name was created in the 1860s as a publicity stunt in order to draw tourists to the area using the railways although there have been settlements here since the stone age (4000-2000 BCE).
The other claim to fame for the town is that this was where the first meeting of the British Women's Institute occurred, in 1915.
The meaning of the name is "Parish of St. Mary Hollow of the Witch Hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the parish church of St. Tysilio with a red cave."
About Richard Reeve
I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...

Such a fun name. Do they abbreviate it for the post? Can you imagine having to fit that into forms? Marvelous shot Richard! l/f!
Richard Reeve replied:
Thanks, Meg. Yes, it's abbreviated to LlanfairPG
