A bite-sized illustrated introduction to the brief, golden age of stage and mail coaches.
It is often forgotten that in the early nineteenth century, before the arrival of the railways, Britain had the fastest and most efficient form of public overland transport the world had ever seen. By the 1820s, what had once been a hideous chore became a fashionable pastime and a boon to business.
This short, illustrated history covers this 20-odd year period until its rapid decline as the railways spread across Britain.
