Long before railways carved their lines across England, Yorkshire travelled by coach and courage. Old roads remember it all. In The Old Coaching Days in Yorkshire, Tom Bradley offers a richly detailed yorkshire coaching history book that follows the great stagecoach and mail coach routes through dales, market towns and city streets. Written in Victorian times, it brings together historical detail and local tradition to chart 19th century Yorkshire travel, the famed old coaching inns of yorkshire, and the wider patterns of historic road travel in england. At once narrative and reference, this is british transport history nonfiction that captures the texture of everyday journeys, from the heyday of Georgian and Victorian England to the twilight of the coaching age, making it a much-loved victorian local history classic for yorkshire local history fans and general readers alike. For historians and collectors, Bradley's study stands as an essential transport history enthusiasts book, a complete history of coaching in the county and a cornerstone for any serious coaching and stagecoach collection, as well as an inviting doorway for newcomers to the subject. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
