Description
The Great North Road has been the main route between London and Edinburgh since earliest times, but roads change. Since 1922, it has been officially known as the A1, yet much of its original path has been bypassed, leaving an intriguing trail for author Chris Cooper to follow.
As he travels the 400 miles, Cooper explores every twist and turn of the old road, uncovering remnants of bygone carriageways, forgotten byways, dead ends, and wayside rest houses from a bygone era. He also traces parts that have completely disappeared.
This book is a fascinating journey along one of Britain's most historic roads, revealing its changing landscape over the years.
