Roads were a big issue in the summer of 2019: partly because of the frequency of road closures, but also traffic speeds on B1079. Consequently this letter printed in the Evening Star over 100 years ago seemd quite topical. I think it probably refers to Bealings Road.

To the Editor.
Sir, The state of Suffolk roads has so often called forth indignant protests that it is with deep feelings of despair I take up pen to make my moan.
The particular road which is now my cause scribendi is the one between Hasketon and Great Bealings. I use the word “road” with feelings of diffidence as I doubt whether any of your readers who have ever traversed it in its better days would now able to recognise it as such.
For some weeks an engine dragging tracks containing some tons of flint mend the roads, has passed along it four or five times daily. As result, it now boasts two ravines – in places well over a foot in depth – all along its course. In between and on each side of where the wheels have gone is a high tableland. If this engine continues its journeys much longer, pedestrians will need Alpine-stocks to scale the summit the road, should they be so unfortunate as to be lost in one of the gullies. As to cyclists – Heaven help them! In my own knowledge two have been thrown off in the dark within the last few days, and picked themselves up, wondering how they managed to get into the ploughed field. Motorists, too, have encountered “rebus in arduis” – the pace of their cars well within the speed limit; not so that of the winged words fast flowing from their mouths.
SATIRIST.
Great Bealings, October 2, 1909.
