Synopsis
Discover the rise of England’s transport network, from turnpikes to steam ships, and how reform shaped a nation on the move.
This edition outlines how roads and waterways were built, governed, and improved in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It explains the rules for tolls, wheel designs, and the push to unify and codify highway laws, alongside the early growth of steam navigation that transformed travel and trade.
- How turnpike trusts operated, who could serve as trustees, and the safeguards against mismanagement
- Why wheel design and road surface mattered for durability and use on broad vs. narrow wheels
- The move to a single, coherent code for highway laws and turnpikes, plus key acts of 1822–1823
- The rapid expansion of steam steam navigation and regular sea and river services that linked major ports
