Tim Cole follows a set of 13 motoring guidebooks published during the 1951 Festival of Britain to see what has changed over 70 years. Driving from Devon to Caithness via East Anglia, the Midlands and the North, he notes the increase in road traffic, the decline of heavy industry, the transformation of the countryside by modern farming, and a pervasive nostalgia, in stark contrast to the optimism of his mid-century guides.
