The arrival of the motor car in England during the 1890s marked the beginning of a significant transformation. Initially a luxury with limited practical use due to underdeveloped infrastructure, the automobile's influence has profoundly reshaped the country's architecture, infrastructure, and natural environment. This book chronicles the car's historical impact on England's physical landscape, from its nascent stages to the extensive modern motorway network. It particularly highlights the architectural consequences, detailing structures built to accommodate vehicles.
