People have been travelling in and out of the Stroud valleys for several centuries. How did they get about? This book is the result of research by several local historians into the old roads, paths and tracks that preceded the turnpikes, and into the tollhouses, coaching inns and vehicles that resulted from the increasing demand for long-distance travel. With 160+ pages and 200+ coloured illustrations including several old maps, the book will cost £12.
