How we took a break in years gone by,
By
This review is from: Always a Welcome: The Glove Compartment History of the British Motorway Service Area (Paperback)
Next time you pull over for a cuppa, look around at what remains of some of Britain's most ambitious twentieth century architecture.
This book chronicles the history of the motorway service area from the early days of Watford Gap and Newport Pagnell, through the era of gimmicks and novelties at Trowell and Forton, right up to the modern 'mall' era of Donington Park and the 'big three'. Lawrence has assimilated an impressive array of photographs of British people taking a break from their journeys over the years, as he explains how the forces of politics, business, fashion and latterly globalisation have changed how we take a break from our journeys. A must for anyone who enjoys the history of everyday places.
