Description: | This road depicted is probably that from London to Dover, as Eltham was a prominent stop along the route. On his 1790 tour of Kent, diarist John Bying complained that "[when] we cross'd Blackheath to Eltham; and here The Road became so narrow, that a servant was always sent 1/2 a mile in advance, to remove obstructions." | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Road Transport Houses and homes Cartography And Topography Bullock Carts Science And Technology Architecture Landscapes Country Houses | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Jukes, Francis | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
