Travel in the Past - The Problems and Pleasures of the Journey

Travel in the past was not easy, and Sussex was notorious for its bad roads. It was not until the mid-18th century when Turnpike Acts improved the county’s roads, that journeys became less of a problem. This illustrated talk by Dr Janet Pennington takes in regions around London and further afield, looking at horses, coaches and plenty of Sussex mud. It will make you glad you have a car or can catch a bus or a train. Even walking could be better than coach travel in the 17th century!
