Long Road from Jarrow - A journey through Britain then and nowPaperback
Three and half weeks. I saw roaring arterial highway and silent lanes, candlelit cathedrals and angry men in bad pubs. Three hundred miles.
Now we are nation of vaping and nail salons, pulled pork and salted caramel.In the autumn of 1936, some 200 men from the Tyneside town of Jarrow marched 300 miles to London in protest against the destruction of their towns and industries. The Britain of 1936 was a land of beef paste sandwiches and drill halls. Precisely 80 years on, Stuart Maconie, walks from north to south retracing the route of the emblematic Jarrow Crusade.Traveling down the country's spine, Maconie moves through a land that is, in some ways, very much the same as the England of the 30s with its political turbulence, austerity, north/south divide, food banks and of course, football mania.
Yet in other ways, it is completely unrecognizable.Maconie
