Through East Anglia in a Motor Car

A breezy early‑twentieth‑century road diary invites listeners to join a motorist’s day‑long jaunt across the gentle hills and flat stretches of East Anglia. From the scholarly spires of Cambridge to the bustling market squares of Ipswich, the narrative pauses at historic ports, windswept beaches and sleepy villages, sketching each stop with a fond, observant eye. The writer’s tone is conversational, noting the quirks of narrow streets, the rhythm of tramcars, and the occasional surprise of a sharp ascent, all while the landscape rolls past in a series of vivid, colour‑rich illustrations.

Beyond the travelogue, the book doubles as a practical guide for the early driver, cataloguing garages, fuel stops and road conditions with concise symbols and distances. Its blend of useful advice, gentle humor and picturesque scenes makes the journey feel both instructive and leisurely, offering a snapshot of motoring life when motor cars were still a novelty on England’s countryside roads.
