Five talks by W. G. Hoskins
4—The ' Rash Assault'
' Is then no nook of English ground secure from rash assault? ' Wordsworth demanded when the builders of railways began to manipulate the landscape on a grand scale. The railway engineers took over from two generations of canal builders, and in this talk Dr. Hoskins considers the impact of both canal and railway construction on the rural scene.
