Many of the roads we use today are tarmaced extensions of pre-existing roads and trackways and whilst some of these early roads will have been deliberately planned and built, others will have developed over time by the passage of traffic over the same route. Paul Hindle's history is a revised and updated version of a book long out of print, Roads, Tracks and their Interpretation. In it he looks at the development of roads through time, though focusing largely on the Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods, and their function in facilitating the movement of people, animals, agricultural produce and other goods, and the military. Based on documentary evidence, maps and fieldwork observations, this is a good guide to understanding the development of the roads and tracks that criss-cross Britain.
