"New Ways" booklet issued by the British Roads Camapign Council, c1955
One of a series of propoganda booklets issued by the British Roads Campaign Council, an offshoot of the British Road Federation and arguing the case for investment in and development of Britain's creaking road system. This volume covers three major English cities and discusses the contemporary road and traffic conditions and possible changes. Some of the proposals would see the light of the day in 1960s and '70s with inner ring roads, relief roads and motorways being created, especially in Newcastle with, as we now know, mixed results.
Unusually the booklet credits an author, designer and printer: Godfrey Harrison, John Denison-Hunt FSIA and Clowes of London & Beccles.
