A network of routes travelled by packmen, carriers and packhorse teams carried much of Britain's trade before the era of the turnpike road.

ISBN: 0718511921. Board corners lightly bumped. Minor mark to lower edge of text block. Contents otherwise fine. White pictorial dustwrapper is lightly creased at top of spine and lightly scuffed.
