Wayside Geography

John Nowell Linton Myres was the GA President in 1925. His entry on the blog is here. He was an archaeologist, closely linked with the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford.

In 1925, at a GA Annual Meeting he spoke on 'Wayside Geography' which was apparently broadcast on BBC Radio. He expanded that into a longer piece, published in 1926 which is worth reading, as it has connections with the idea of everyday geographies.
