The A303 is one of the essential routes of English motoring promising to whisk the traveller towards the green & honeyed lands of Somerset & the far west to a world of holidays & escape (although these journeys all too often grind to a standstill.) Yet the 303 is more than a road. It is a story. Four-&-a-half thousand years ago the bluestones of Stonehenge were conveyed west from the river Avon along a small section of its route. Roman roads crossed it & drovers paths lie beneath it. Its route cuts across some of the finest chalkland in southern Engl&. Tom Fort wanders across the summits of the downs takes in the views & investigates the evidence of ancient habitation & worship. He samples the fare at the Willoughby Hedge Cafe legendary among truckers. He seeks out service stations & inns & turnpike toll houses; tells stories of dreadful crashes & highway robberies; of solstice seekers & Stonehenge; of Queen Guinevere & Sir Launcelot; of army camps & racing tracks; Battles & festivals; of churches abbeys farms houses burial mounds trout fishermen & falconers.

The success of Filofax over the past decade has led many to believe that they are a new concept. However quite the contrary in fact its origins date back right up until the First World War when an Englishman working in the USA came across an American organising system consisting largely of technical leaves for engineers & scientists.

In 1930 after a company was set up in London to market the idea of personal organisation systems by mail order to England the name “ Filofax” was born having derived from the description “file of facts”.

Filofax built up a strong clientele particularly amongst the clergy & military indeed at one point a “ Filofax” was a compulsory purchase of the British Army staff college in Camberley.

The Filofax personal organiser was an indispensable status symbol for the 1980’s & continues to be a valuable & practical asset to people in all walks of life today.
