Three men and a Bradshaw : an original Victorian travel journal
Freeman, John George, 1846-18832015
Book
The Freeman brothers, all London cloth merchants by trade, were early patrons of the booming Victorian industry in railway tourism. From Devon to North Wales to the Isle of Wight, the rapid expansion of Britain's rail system - along with the publication of George Bradshaw's ever-trustworthy guides to the new railways - had rendered the history and landscape of the entire nation readily accessible to intrepid holidaymakers such as the Freeman brothers. In this book, the very best of the journals that John George Freeman kept of their travels are brought together to create a fascinating and uniquely personal artefact.
