About This Book

A travel and local-history narrative traces the old mail-coach route from Birmingham across the Midlands into Wales and onward to the Anglesey port, describing towns, inns, bridges, and notable landscape features encountered along the way. The account blends topographical description with historical anecdotes and antiquarian observations, illustrated by plates and sketches, and notes coaching architecture, milestones, and local customs. It highlights river crossings, mountain passes, waterfalls, and lakes, and records practical route particulars while reflecting on the transformations brought by railways and other modern changes to the older road network.
