Britain's Motorways

Motorways are found all over Britain, from Perth in Scotland to Exeter in Devon. In fact, there are now over 2,000 miles of motorway in England, Wales and Scotland.

They are used by millions of us every day, yet how often do we ever think about these marvels of civil engineering that help to speed people and goods around Britain? In a first, transport historian Mark Chatterton has brought together information about the history, construction, routes and workings of every motorway that is found in Britain in one book.

In researching this book, Mark Chatterton has spent many years travelling the length and breadth of Great Britain, visiting each motorway and capturing photographs.
