Free parking in Trosa Harbour.
Wikipedia says – Today Trosa is one of the top four wealthiest communities in Sweden (32% of the population earns more than 1,5 million SEK a year.) Many famous people have summerhouses in or close to Trosa, for example the well-known chef, hunter and actor Per Morberg as well as Tommy Körberg, the Swedish Royal Family, Mikael Persbrandt, ABBAs Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.

GB. England. Weymouth. 2000. Martin Parr on the subject of Englishness – or what is it? This is what we came up with at 5:30 this morning.
Saying sorry when someone steps on your foot. Nostalgia for the days of empire. Having no interest in languages other than English. Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, William Brown, Doctor Who, Mr. Bean, Basil Fawlty, Monty Python. Class consciousness. Land of hope and glory. Eccentricity. Self effacing. A certain tolerance. Mustn’t grumble. Put on a good act. Beating around the bush. Miles. Pounds, shilling and pence. Driving on the left. Glorious isolation. Fish & chips, steak and kidney pie, bangers and mash, chicken tikka masala, brown ale. The Daily Mirror, The Beano, The King James Bible. George Formby. Fish paste sandwiches. Tidy queues at bus stop.
