Inhaltsangabe

One of four new titles in a series for local historians and all lovers of Britain's heritage, the main aim of which is to enable readers to look at the landscape and read its features with understanding. This book shows how, to the informed eye, roads and tracks can reveal the whole history of locality or of an industry; or give clues to the social, technological and economic life of a whole age. It traces the development of British roads and tracks and looks at questions such as why they are where they are, who built them, and how they changed. The author also examines their impact on the landscape - right up to today's motorways, which be seen either as blots on the landscape or, as Paul Hindle notes, as magnificent large-scale sculptures.
