About this book
Packhorses, stage-coaches, canals, turnpike roads, railways and motor-buses all appear in Edwin A. Pratt's history of how goods and people moved across England from the earliest times to 1912. Pratt, who had already written on railway rates and on canals, sets out to show how each stage of transport shaped trade, industry and social conditions. Rivers, tramways and early aeroplanes are covered too, and the account of railways reaches the strikes of 1911 and the Royal Commission of Inquiry. It was planned as the opening volume of a series called National Industries.
