An archaeological history of the British Road from prehistoric times to the present day
The archaeological evidence shows how travel has changed over the centuries. Simple earthworks have developed into modern cuttings and tunnels; fords have been superseded by bridges of all kinds;the buildings associated with road travel are no longer wayside inns and tollhouses, but car plants and service stations; simple milestones have developed into a plethora of modern street furniture; and horse transport have been replaced by trolley buses, trams and buses. This authoritative yet elegantly written survey is the long-awaited companion volume to the author's 'Archaeology of Railways'.
