Context
Sir James Drake's masterpiece work discussing the then-road network of the Administrative County of Lancashire (so not including County Boroughs such as Liverpool or Manchester), and massive proposals for its improvement.

Contents of note
- Maps of the county, including historical, traffic levels and proposals
- In depth with each individual improvement, from the North-South Motorway (which became the M6) to bypasses of small villages.
