The Age of Railways was an era of extraordinary change which utterly transformed every aspect of British life – from trade & transportation to health & recreation. Full Steam Ahead will reveal how the world we live in today was entirely shaped by the rail network, charting the glorious evolution of rail transportation & how it left its mark on every aspect of life, landscape & culture. Peter Ginn & Ruth Goodman brilliantly bring this revolution to life in their trademark style which engages & captivates.

They explore the everyday lives & the intangible ephemeral history that makes up the stories of the people who built, worked & were affected by the railways. From the very first steam railways to the infrastructure that is still used in part today, they look at the men, women & children who lived & sometimes died constructing Britains railway heritage.

Immersing themselves in the story of how the railways made us what we are today, the authors uncover compelling social history along the way, exploring the railway’s impact on everything from food & medicine to warfare & the class system. They tell the stories of the historic characters whose lives were changed by this radical mode of transport, describing the wider social history & geography of each particular region of Britain.

As they trace the emergence of the Industrial Revolution across the country, the authors discover a hidden layer of social history, using rail transportation as a backdrop to reveal Britain’s radical change in social attitudes & culture across the 19th & early 20th centuries, including the rise of the working class, women’s rights, industrial growth, economic decline, warfare & the birth of the great British holiday.

Beautifully illustrated with photographs & artwork throughout, Full Steam Ahead is a passionate, charming & insightful look at Britain through the lens of one of its most momentous eras.

Theres far more to vintage football programmes than optimistic managers notes, unreliable teamsheets & grudging opposition pen pictures.

Before the era of the standardised corporate brochure, every clubs programme had a different, unique personality, & played its part in the precious ritual of going to the match.

Last weekends action shots provided a foretaste of the excitement; the A-Z scoresheet provided a live lookout on the rest of the League, while At Home With
- provided a peephole into a stars domestic life.

Remember the allure of the Souvenir Shop ads? Football League Review centrespreads? Girl of the Match? From the ground picture cover era through the groovy & colour action phases to the dawn of clipart, programmes from our nostalgic 60s-90s Golden Age amount to a (slightly crumpled) pocket history of graphic design.

Packed with pictures & memories, Fully Programmed offers an irresistible window back into more innocent times.
