Motor
car: The coming of the motor car, or 'horseless
carriages' as they were often known, at the end of the 19th century aroused
some opposition from pedestrians and cyclists alike.
Motoring at
the turn of the century was only for the wealthy who took up driving as
a sport or hobby, spending vast sums of money in the process. The popularity
and declining cost of the motor car ultimately led to a decrease in the
numbers of horse drawn vehicles from the 1930s onwards. The car soon came
to have a dramatic impact upon country life by drawing more people out
of the towns into the countryside for leisure purposes, and enabling more
people to live in the country and work in the town.
