Erected to inform travellers how far they have come and how far
they still have to go, milestones are a relic of a time when life
moved more slowly. This book tells the story of milestones and the
technology they reflect, as well as road measurement. It uses the
great variety of designs and styles to argue the historical
importance of conservation and to illustrate the compelling
fascination of the subject.
Mervyn Benford has worked in education all his professional life
and has a consuming interest in history. Concerned at the rate at
which evidence of the past disappears, often inadequately recorded,
he believes that the understanding of history, the ability to
understand cause and effect, to interpret evidence and to recognise
what changes and what does not, are all central to an effective
society.
