Excerpt from The Dover Road, 1922: Annals of an Ancient Turnpike It would be rash to declare that more history has been enacted on this road than on any other, although we may suspect it but certainly history is more spectacular along these miles. Those pageants and glittering processions are of the past they ended in 1840, when railways were about to supplant the road when the last distinguished traveller along these miles, Prince Albert of sawe-coburg Gotha, came up by carriage to wed Queen Victoria.
