Motoring has been a feature of Surrey since the first London to
Brighton Run came through the county in 1896 as a result of the
repeal of the Locomotive Act. Surrey has enjoyed a wealth of
variety of motor vehicles through the years. Here are images of big
cars, little cars, townscapes, countryside and all sorts of period
clothing to put it all in context. Surrey's pre-1929 vehicle
registration records have all been destroyed but Bryan Goodman, a
veteran and vintage car enthusiast all his adult life, has still
been able to identify many of the owners, dates, addresses and
specifications of the wide range of vehicles depicted. We can see
the development of motoring from being a rich man's pursuit to that
of 'motoring for the masses' as cars became smaller and cheaper
within the period before the Second World War. Motoring Around
Surrey will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the
county, the social story of the motor car and the development of
the automobile in the first decades of the twentieth century that
saw commercial use of the horse become obsolete. Within the pages
of Motoring Around Surrey are a selection of over 200 images
showing a way of life the county will never see again.
