The concept behind this book is a simple one - to show the enormous changes that have taken place in the British Isles since the 1920s by juxtaposing around 85 archive pictures from Aerofilms with 85 contemporary pictures by Jason Hawkes. Jason's shots are as near as possible from the same perspective and with the same crop as the earlier ones. The book is a detailed record of how some parts of Britain have changed in minor details only, whereas others, such as the city of Milton Keynes, are barely recognizable from the villages and countryside that preceded it.
