Summary:

"Photographer Paul Graham spent two years completing this documentary on the life and landscape of the Great North Road. Throughout 1981 and 1982 he made numerous trips along the A1, crossing and re-crossing the length of the nation to record every aspect of life at the verge of this great road. The forty full colour photographs reproduced in this book build not only into a significant documentary of the A1, but also provide a thread along which we can travel the Great North Road, deep into the nation's heart, and weave a picture of England in the 1980's."--Bookseller's description.
