About This Book

A travel-historical survey of a major East Anglian highway, blending route-by-route mileages and practical itineraries with historical sketches, local anecdotes, and many illustrations. It chronicles coaching and mail services, inns and waystations, landscape features and antiquities, and incidents of weather, sport, and roadside life. Village and town memories, architectural notes, and stories of highwaymen and accidents are woven together to show how the thoroughfare influenced regional movement, commerce, and everyday experience across changing eras.
