About this book
In Unfamiliar England is a travel book by Thos. D. Murphy. The preface presents the book as a record of pilgrimages to unfamiliar shrines and odd corners throughout the United Kingdom, suggesting that the book may have value as such a record. The travellers describe fording floods in three successive valleys, each deeper than the preceding one, after a tremendous downpour.
The accommodation found in Buntingford is clean but very unpretentious and not altogether comfortable, in a rambling relic of coaching days called the George. The account of Newcastle describes rain, sooty smoke, coal-mining and ship-building alongside surviving memorials of an older, rural order along the Tyne.
