Can anybody give me a clue of roughly how long it would take a horse-and-carriage, early 19th century, to travel from London to Hythe (61 miles/98 km)?
The Writer’s Guide to Everyday Life in Regency and Victorian England doesn’t feature anything so useful as travel times. If I need to know the hiring rates of domestic servants, I’m totally covered….but nothing on how long it would take to get from point A to point B.
Any help would be welcome.
