Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating journey back in time to the golden age of stagecoach travel in England. The author, a seasoned expert in coaching matters, paints a vivid picture of a bygone era when the rhythmic clatter of hooves and the cheery notes of the guard's horn filled the air. Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the author delves into the intricate world of coaching inns, coach building, and the art of driving these magnificent horse-drawn carriages. We meet colourful characters, from skilled coachmen and dedicated guards to the trusty horses that powered these journeys.

It contrasts the bustling scenes of London's coaching yards with the quieter stretches of countryside roads, offering insights into the changing landscape of travel and the impact of the emerging railway system.
