Some books which might be useful and which I do not think have been
mentioned yet are:
Edwin A Pratt, A History of Inland Transport and Communication, David
and Charles Reprints, 1970
Christopher I Savage, An Economic History of Transport, Hutchinson, 1959
J H Appleton, The Geography of Communications in Great Britain,
University of Hull, 1962
Geoffrey Hindley, A History of Roads, Peter Davies, 1971
Christopher Taylor, Roads and Tracks on Britain, Dent, 1979
I expect much more could be found by a trawl through local histories.
