Description
Book SynopsisWhen the motor car first came to England in the 1890s, it was a luxury item with little practical purpose - drivers couldn't travel very far or very quickly without paved roads or traffic laws. This book relates the history of the car's impact on the physical environment of England from its early beginnings to the modern motorway network.
