ROADS: ARCHAEOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURE - This is the first book that deals with all aspects of the rich and varied legacy of the road infrastructure, from the prehistoric holloway to the modern motorway, much of which is still in use. After an initial introductory history of road transport, the book deals with its archaeology and architecture. There are sections on the development of civil engineering, including embankments, cuttings and tunnels; ferries, fords and bridges; the variety of road-related buildings, from bridge chapels and toll-houses to coaching inns and car parks; milestones and signposts; and public transport.
