  Covering almost every line in the country, this acclaimed series of books juxtaposes photographs of the same railway location separated in time by just a few years, or maybe a century or more. Sometimes the result is dereliction or disappearance, in others a transformation into a modern high-speed railway. In both cases, the contrasts are intriguing and informative. This volume includes: Ryde to Ventnor; the Bembridge branch from Brading; and, Lines from Newport to Sandown and Ventnor via Merstone, to Cowes, to Ryde via Smallbrook Junction, and to Freshwater.
