' The Road—Yesterday and Today,' a discussion between Mr. S. F. EDGE and Mr. FILSON YOUNG

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THE roads of England have undergone a a conspicuous revolution in the last generation. At the end of last century the old main roads had become abandoned by all but slow-moving local traffic ; the mail-coach and post chaise were mouldering in stable yards whilst the railways carried passengers and mail and the lumbering carrier's wagon had a monopoly of the road. Then came the petrol motor, and the roads revived, until they are now a problem that is ever present in people's, minds. In tonight's discussion Mr. S. F. Edge , a pioneer of motoring in England, and still one of the most prominent figures in the motor trade, and Mr. Filson Young , who has written much on the human side of motoring, will survey this recent renaissance of the road.
