Opens your eyes to the landscape around you
By Earthshaker
This is one of those books that can change the way that you look at landscape, or the way that you read maps. Taylor, a landscape archaeologist, examines the roads and tracks of the British landscape, not merely in terms of their archaeological traces: though he is good, for instance, on the many traces of Roman road remaining dotted about the country, the way that they were actually constructed and, before that, what we can infer about how they were surveyed. More importantly, he looks at the way that networks of roads and tracks have differed in their character over the years, the way in which they express the local economy and its trading activities, and what they can thus tell us about the life of particular settlements within a local or regional context.Two related examples will show the sort of historical detective work that can spring from the study of road networks. The modern A1, the Great North Road as was, runs basically dead straight along the edge of the Fens from north of Huntingdon to about Peterborough, then kinks westwards before crossing the Nene at Wansford. Its straight course reflects a Roman road, which ran to a settlement by the Nene and crossed the river by a bridge that clearly collapsed at some point after the end of Roman rule: the road now casts upriver in search of another crossing just as it did 1500 years ago. During the early middle ages, however, the direct route along the edge of the Fens appears to have been abandoned, perhaps after other bridges or culverts failed, with travellers seeking out more direct and drier routes along the higher ground: Taylor cites the way that the now single farmstead at Ongutein was important enough to feature (as Ogerston) on the 1360 Gough Map showing routes in Britain. He also analyses the way that Stilton, although bisected by the modern A1, actually developed along an east-west axis, that having been the more important line of communication at the time the village first took shape; later development, less extensive, stretches along the north-south A1 dating from the time that the Roman road along the Fens' edge once again became the main road.Networks of trade and travel, those which in the middle ages allowed medieval kings constantly to move about their country to impose their rule and harvest its resources, can be extrapolated from evidence on the ground or on maps. Taylor is equally illuminating about the Bronze Age, the Romans or the turnpike roads of the eighteenth century. It's a joy to follow him and see the layers of the past exposed in the lines on the map.

Excellent!
By I,Hepple
For anyone with an interest in this subject this book is a real must have. Some books like this can become dated but this one still adds to the subject.
