The shots are well composed and whole scenes are captured, so there is plenty of infrastructure to be seen... if you are interested in the railway scene in Scotland of 30 to 40 years ago, this is a great book for browsing.

Elgar's music typifies England and English values, and Christopher's book looks at the landscapes and architecture that almost certainly inspired his music. Brilliant.
