Roads01

To be published by Landmark much later in 2008 will be my first book - “Roads and Trackways of North Wales”. Originating as an affiliated Time Team Big Roman Dig event in July 2004 tracing the Roman (and prehistoric) road and trackway from Canovium to Segontium, the project subsequently grew to encompass a greater span of periods and a much bigger area.

It includes:

  • Prehistoric Trackways
  • Roman Roads
  • Pilgrimage Roads
  • Drove Roads
  • up to and including Turnpikes and Thomas Telford

Covering Barmouth to Welshpool northwards

A cover shot will appear here once available; likely publication around October.

On related topics, Landmark already have two excellent volumes - Roads and Trackways of Wales (very little content on North Wales), and Peakland Roads and Trackways.

More details will appear when publication approaches, and should you be on Facebook, there is a group at www.roadsandtrackwaysofnorthwales.org.uk

The WW2 Camouflage Markings of Crewe Works

Crewe Works Camouflage Markings

Along Crewe’s West Street are the towering walls of the north west end of its Railway Works. Crewe’s heavy industry expertise, vital train line interchange, and important transport hub made it a target for bombing raids in World War 2. Add to that munitions manufacturing, and production of the Merlin engine at Rolls Royce used in so many Royal Air Force planes, it is no wonder the Luftwaffe would be interested in paying the town a visit.
