Through East Anglia in a Motor Car

A bright, upbeat guide takes listeners on a turn‑of‑the‑century road trip across East Anglia, when the motor car was still a novelty. The narrator blends practical advice—where garages and petrol are available—with vivid observations of the landscape, from flat, sometimes awkward stretches to sharp ascents that test early engines. The tone is conversational, noting the quirks of narrow town streets and the occasional tram that darts past, while the accompanying colour plates bring the scenery to life.

The journey begins in the historic university city, sweeps through the race‑course town of Newmarket, and then winds toward Bury St Edmunds and the bustling port of Ipswich. Along the way, listeners hear about wind‑blown marshes, charming market squares, and the crisp sea air of Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. The description of the Roman road to London adds a sense of continuity, while the author’s gentle humor makes the practical details feel like part of a friendly adventure.
